Description | Organic Seed Alliance (OSA) is a mission-driven organization that works nationally to ensure organic farmers have the seed they need to be successful. Our research, education, and advocacy programs foster seed systems that are responsive to the needs of organic agriculture, resulting in more organic seed and more skilled organic seed producers. Our participatory plant breeding projects are resulting in more organic varieties. We also offer trainings in plant breeding and seed production to farmers, students, seed companies, and others, and our publications are available online and downloaded by growers across the globe. Our advocacy work promotes actions and policies that support organic seed, seed growers, and organic farming more broadly. While we deliver our mission in the US, we are increasingly collaborating with international partners to build and strengthen organic seed systems. |
