Growing Arid-adapted Seeds for Seed Banking - Sharing Our Way Conference 2025

Speaker: Joel Johnson, Conservation Farm Manager at Native Seeds/SEARCH In February, Native Seeds/SEARCH hosted, Sharing Our Way: Tribal Seed Banking & Conservation. This gathering of 60 farmers, seed savers, representatives from tribal government departments and community organizers was made possible thanks to support from Western SARE (Sustainable Agriculture, Research & Education) and partnership with Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community. The conference brought together individuals who represented at least 10 different tribes and Indigenous communities from across the Southwest to exchange information about seed banking, seed conservation and traditional farming. This exchange of knowledge, and discussions about resources, challenges, and other seed saving initiatives emboldened our collective efforts to establish a network of seed conservation organizations throughout our region.
