All About Seeds

We’re talking to Iris Vaisman and Ryan Pengelly today about seed breeding, seed security and seed saving. So just like the title suggests, it’s all about seeds! Have you ever wanted to be a farmer breeder? Or wondered what a farmer breeder is (and then wondered if someone could please change that name)? Iris tells us about how you can get involved - either join a formal plant breeding program, or if you want to go rogue, pick up a manual and do it on your own. We also chatted with Ryan Pengelly who cleans some of his own seed both to sell as food and to develop his own varieties that grow well on his land.
