State of Organic Seed Symposium - February 25th at the Radisson Hotel in La Crosse
Organic Seed Alliance in partnership with MOSES, National Organic Coalition, and OFRF will be hosting a one day working State of Organic Seed Symposium at the 2010 Organic Farming Conference on the day of the "Organic University" sessions. There are currently many regional and national initiatives, organizations, committees, and individuals working on organic seed issues.

The group is drafting a State of Organic Seed Report in order to assess accomplishments, challenges, risks, and opportunities for action in organic seed system development. The Symposium will be an opportunity for the organic community to discuss and refine the Report, and prioritize an action plan. Learn more at the Seed Alliance online or email matthew@seedalliance.org.
