Organic Seed Alliance Winter Newsletter 2019

Act Now and Help Meet Farmers’ Seed Needs

Organic Seed Alliance is making an impact on seed diversity and food security by equipping farmers with the power and potential of organic seed, but we can’t do it alone. Invest in OSA’s research, education, and advocacy efforts and help us grow a seed supply that puts people and the planet first. Please give to our year-end “Believe in Seed” campaign today.
 

The organic community is celebrating historic wins this month following Congress’s passage of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, also known as the Farm Bill. Among the victories is a significant increase in funding for organic research. The bill now awaits the President’s signature. 
 

Organicology is an event to remember and we hope you’ll join us February 14–16, 2019, in Portland, Oregon. The biennial gathering brings together over 1,000 participants from all parts of the organic movement. Seedy highlights include a daylong organic seed production intensive, seed swap, several seed focused workshops, and the Slow Hot dinner featuring new and heritage community-bred varieties.
