Organic Seed Breeding for Nutrition

Join eOrganic for a webinar on Breeding for Nutrition in Organic Seed Systems on March 23, 2012 at 2PM Eastern Time (1PM Central, 12PM Mountain, 11AM Pacific Time). This workshop was originally presented at the Organic Seed Grower's Conference in Port Townsend, Washington, and the speakers are repeating it as an eOrganic webinar. The webinar is free and open to the public and advance registration is required.

About the Webinar

Organic eaters want nutritious food, but some modern breeding programs may be increasing yields at the cost of nutrition. Learn about breeding programs working with classical breeding methods (non-GMO) to breed nutritionally superior crops.

Presenters: Philipp Simon, University of Wisconsin, Jim Myers, Oregon State University, Walter Goldstein, Mandaamin Institute, Micaela Colley, Organic Seed Alliance
