SUMMARY:Northern Latitudes: Sourcing and Saving Seeds from Similar Climates
  - Bauta Family Initiative on Canadian Seed Security
DESCRIPTION:Northern Latitudes: Sourcing and Saving Seeds from Similar Clim
 ates\n\nFor seed growers in northern climates\, understanding where a seed
  comes from—geographically\, genetically\, and culturally—is essential
 .\n\n\n\n\nAt the Bauta Family Initiative on Canadian Seed Security\, we w
 ork toward a future where farmers have the power to save\, improve\, and s
 hare the seeds they rely on. That means building a seed system rooted in g
 enetic diversity\, regional adaptation\, and collective care.\n\nSeed syst
 ems are complex—shaped by geography\, labour\, economics\, policy\, and 
 culture. They involve trade-offs. No single model is perfect. This series 
 is about holding space for nuance\, highlighting under-recognized work\, a
 nd building shared understanding of the systems that feed us.\n\nWe invite
  you to join us—with curiosity and care—as we shine a light behind the
  packet.\n\n\n\nSpeakers:\n\n 	Andrew Still and Sarah Kleeger (Adaptive Se
 eds\, Oregon) will reflect on their Seed Ambassador travels in Russia\, La
 tvia\, Lithuania\, Switzerland\, Denmark\, and Romania more than a decade 
 ago.\n\n\n 	Theo Wiederkehr (Carrick Seeds\, Ontario) will demonstrate how
  they navigate the NordGen gene bank and discuss thier deep interest in gr
 ey peas.\n\n\n 	Heather Ramsey (Umi Nami Farm\, BC) will explain their far
 m’s motivations for sourcing seed from Japan and what they appreciate ab
 out varieties from Watanabe Seed.\n\nPresentations will be in English with
  translated slides.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nSee more and register here: Northern Lat
