Knowledge Exchange
Through Training & Networking Opportunities
Through conferences, field days, workshops, webinars, and mentorships, our program co-creates engaging peer-to-peer learning spaces with farmers and seed savers. Training opportunities are organized in each region to facilitate farmer-to-farmer exchange, foster and develop the skills and knowledge of local seed stewards, and to provide opportunities for everyone in the community to visit and hear about this important work in the field. We also produce virtual sessions to address topics of interest to seed growers across the country. Please see below for full details.
