USA - State of Organic Seed, 2016 - A new report by Organic Seed Alliance
Port Townsend, Washington, USA
July 1, 2016
We're proud to release State of Organic Seed, 2016 -- the only comprehensive assessment of organic seed in the US.
Our findings show that organic farmers are planting more organic seed and that they're happier with the results of the organic seed they're using.
Investments in organic plant breeding have increased tremendously, and collaborative research is resulting in new varieties that have been developed by and for organic farmers.
Still, most organic farmers rely on conventional seed for at least part of their operation and barriers remain for making faster progress in building organic seed systems.
State of Organic Seed provides a roadmap to guide research, education, and policy work for the next five years to ensure organic seed needs are met.
