Application deadline nears for Organic Seed Production Online Course

Are you interested in a career in seed? Organic Seed Alliance is hosting the Organic Seed Production Online Course, beginning in Spring 2021. Applications are due Wednesday, March 10.

This interactive, cohort-based course is designed to supplement an on-farm organic seed production training experience. The course includes six modules over six months and is focused on the biological, technical, and economic aspects of organic seed production. Highlights include:

  • Peer-to-peer networking and learning opportunities
  • Individualized personal and professional development mentorship
  • Seed ethics, the political landscape in seed
  • Seed as a livelihood

Spanish translation services are available upon request. The online course is meant to supplement an on-farm seed production training experience and requires that enrolled students be simultaneously working or interning on a farm that grows seed or will allow the student space to grow seed. There is no tuition fee. The application is availabe at https://seedalliance.org.
