The future of organic seed depends on the networks we weave today.
Our outreach efforts build power through convening seed communities, activating new collaborations, supporting relationship-building, and developing networks across program areas and partnerships.
OSA’s outreach focus is convening growers working with seed, connecting them with our programs and one another to share knowledge and build inter- and intra-community relationships. Our outreach knits together all of our organizational impact goals to achieve our mission. This is actualized throughout the organization with interpersonal and programmatic network building in the field, with our digital resources, our online networking platform Organic Seed Commons, and at events convened virtually and in person.

Organic Seed Growers Conference
Our biennial Organic Seed Growers Conference is the largest manifestation of our outreach, and we are poised to bring together growers working with seed alongside a planning committee that represents diverse communities of seed stewards.
Regional Organic Seed Summits
The Summits are regional gatherings for people working with seed to network, exchange knowledge, and develop collective actions to build equitable, abundant, and resilient seed systems in the state.
Organic Seed Commons
Organic Seed Commons is a virtual community built for seed growers, breeders, and advocates. This platform is a container for real-time and asynchronous convening of communities with whom we work directly and indirectly.
OSA Quarterly Calls
Our open-sourced OSA Quarterly Calls bring together farmers, seed producers, researchers, advocates, and food system leaders to connect with OSA’s Advocacy, Research, and Educational Initiatives.
