In this episode, you'll hear from Washington State farmer Nash Huber, who explains how his plant breeding partnership with OSA allows him to adapt his crops to his organic farm and regional conditions. "I can do it," Nash says, "because I know how to grow cabbage. I know how to grow carrots. But I don't know how to breed them. So the partnership with OSA is key."
As Joe Lamp'l, executive producer of Growing a Greener World, shared with viewers: "Without the help and partnership of OSA with our farmers, we lose a lot of seed and crop varieties that are critical for biodiversity and so much more."
