Organic Seed Alliance — Oregon Tilth Organic Seed Alliance supports the ethical development and stewardship of the genetic resources of agricultural seed. Organic Seed Alliance supports the ethical development and stewardship of the genetic resources of agricultural seed. They accomplish their goals through collaborative education, advisory services, and research programs with organic farmers and other seed professionals. The programs of Organic Seed Alliance serve the needs of today with a vision for tomorrow by promoting the value of seed and seed saving skills, prevent the erosion of this resource, and expand the benefits and abundance inherent in every single seed. Oregon Tilth Partnership with the Organic Seed Alliance In support of a USDA Risk Management Agency grant received by the Organic Seed Alliance, Oregon Tilth was one of several partners that contributed to the creation of a guide and resource manual for on-farm organic seed research and variety trialing, published in the summer of 2007.
Fork & Bottle: Seed Sources - Organic, Biodynamic, Heirloom & Heritage Seed Sources Native Seeds/SEARCH The NS/S Seedbank houses (for future generations) the seeds of crops and wild plants traditionally used as food, fiber and dyes by prehistoric and more recent cultures inhabiting the arid southwestern U.S. and northwestern Mexico. More than 2,000 different seeds are offered, representing traditional crops grown by Apache, Chemehuevi, Cocopah, Gila River Pima, Guarijio, Havasupai, Hopi, Maricopa, Mayo, Mojave, Mountain Pima, Navajo, Paiute, Puebloan, Tarahumara, Tohono O'odham and Yaqui farmers. More than a half of the offerings are corn, bean, and squash (aka the three sisters). They also have some seed assortments and they offer products other than seeds (on their website), such as dried beans, posole, salsas, chiles, etc. They have some interesting links to other sites, as well. I’m excited that they are offering devil’s claw seeds, of which the dried plant pods are spectacular. Territorial Seed Company I'm a fan of theirs. Biodynamic Seed Resources

Certified Organic Seed From Wild Garden Seed Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, Saving the Past for the Future Teenager’s Clean Machine Could Remove 7 Million Tons Of Plastic From Ocean Boyan Slat is a 19-year-old engineering student who has detailed plans for a concept Ocean Cleanup system that could help remove over 7 million tons of plastic from the water. The design would clean up the large ‘Garbage Patches’ using floating booms rather than nets to cover wide areas. By not using nets or mesh, the result will be that small debris will be diverted and extracted with virtually no by-catch of fish or other living organisms. The ocean currents would drive plastic toward the self-supportive Ocean Cleanup platforms, powered by the sun, currents, and waves. They estimate that by selling the plastic retrieved from the gyres, they would be able to make more money than the plan costs to execute. You can watch Slat’s talk for TEDxDelft 2012, where he details the plan, in the video below: Boyan Slat
