The organic plant breeding project was developed in 2015 in direct response to California's organic growers, who have reported a scarcity of seeds for cultivars that meet the needs of organic farming. Using traditional, field-based plant breeding methods, new varieties of tomatoes, wheat, spinach, celtuce, and zinnias are being developed on certified organic land at the Student Farm at UC Davis.The breeding objectives of these projects were based on input from local organic farmers and the Organic Seed Alliance, as well as the diversity of their cropping systems and growing seasons.This is a free event, but a $20 donation to help support our work is appreciated. Donations are always welcome.Agenda๐Ÿ•‘: 04:30 PM - 05:30 PMWoodfired pizza and beverages.
