This project is a student-led initiative that provides a unique opportunity for graduate students interested in organic seed systems to share resources with one another and learn from leaders in the field. CIOA scientists John Navazio (OSA and WSU) and Jared Zystro (OSA) will present workshops on Participatory Plant Breeding and organic breeding that include details on CIOA work at this exciting new symposium.
