Wow, so glad to see an article about seed breeding! Have you heard about Culinary Breeding Network and the Variety Showcases? Lane Selman is doing great stuff in this space and is also not-for-profit!
Hey! This is great! AND… wanted to bring some awareness to the Culinary Breeding Network and the work of Lane Selman in Portland, OR. She has been doing the work of bringing chefs together with seed breeders and farmers for decades, and has made a real change in the west coast of the USA. She was doing it before celebrity chefs were ;) and does it with lots of community support. Please check out the Culinary Breeding Network & events - they’re awesome and as more of us learn every year… FLAVOR BEGINS WITH SEED! ❤️
This is great to see more about seeds and plant breeding and flavor. I've participated in the the Variety Showcase in Portland and the Seed to Table event in Madison Wisconsin both in partnership with the Culinary Breeding Network who has been pioneering work with chef's and plant breeders for years.
I was going to recommend looking into the Culinary Breeding Network, but others beat me to it! Lane Selman started something similar to this years ago. The impact she’s made in this space is truly incredible. So +1 on checking out what she’s done so far, and her future endeavors.
You all should get in touch with Lane Selman from Culinary Breeding Network. She's been doing this work for more than 10 years now. She has a lot of experience doing this work with academic & industry collaborators alongside chefs as well as community engagement on a large scale. She would be an invaluable resource for you as you build on this new initiative.
Native seed search and Ramona Farms are wonderful case studies for indigenous and desert based seed preservation in Arizona both I belive ship in the USA.
