Over 94% of the seed commercially available 100 years ago is gone. The loss of genetic diversity and the current model of breeding for uniformity makes our food system much more susceptible to shocks from pests and diseases to severe weather events due to climate change. This class focuses on food crops. Help create a local seed shed in our community and be part of the solution.
