Julia Dakin and Anna Mieritz- How "Going to Seed" Germinated
About this episode
Julia Dakin and Anna Mieritz discuss their work with the 'Going to Seed' organization and their vegetable breeding projects.
Julia Dakin and Anna Mieritz are key members of the "Going to Seed" organisation, which brings adaptation crop breeding to numerous communities in the USA. In this two part interview I learn more about their own vegetable breeding projects, but also take the rare opportunity to learn more about how their organisation got started, how it grew, and plans for the future. A great episode for people keen to get involved or start something similar in their part of the world.
