The recording of the National Zoom held on Sunday 2nd August 2026 is now available.
Our guests for this session were Ambre Whatley from Eden Seeds and Frances Michaels formerly of Green Harvest Seeds.
Have you ever considered the different roles of seed savers, commercial seed growers, and seed retailers? Each of these roles are interconnected, and for some are overlapping.
Who educates and mentors new growers? Who drives making more varieties widely available? How do these roles each contribute to the sustainability of Australia’s seed system?
We talked about the challenges that seed retailers face in the Australian market and different approaches that companies take.
We hope that this session develops connections and understanding between seed savers, commercial seed growers and retailers.
