What if the secret to climate-resilient crops is already hidden in our seeds? This week, we dive deep with researchers Molly Travis and Jared Zystro from the Organic Seed Alliance to explore the critical link between organic seed production and dry farming. Discover how their on-the-ground research in Humboldt County is breeding seeds specifically adapted to thrive in organic systems and with less water. They explain how selecting plants under the stress of dry farming doesn't just create drought-tolerant varieties—it builds all-around tougher crops that are better at resisting disease and weather fluctuations. Learn how this research helps local farmers today and contributes to a more resilient food system for everyone. If you've ever wondered how the seeds we save today can secure our harvests tomorrow, this conversation is for you.
