Organic Seed Alliance

We envision a world where organic seed grows 

an equitable, abundant, and resilient future of food.

Organic Seed Alliance (OSA) has worked for over 2 decades to grow knowledge and power for farmers and growers who work with seed. OUR MISSION is to put the power of seed into the hands of growers. More than ever, organic seed is viewed as the foundation of organic integrity and an essential component to furthering the principles underpinning the organic movement. 

OSA's perennial programs are grounded in the desire to increase the quality and quantity of organic seed available to organic farmers by developing networks and connections between seed growers, seed companies, university researchers, policy advocates, and other seed organizations. As we grow this work, our network continues to deepen and diversify, shifting to take on the shape of the world around us. We serve growers working with seed in the Pacific Northwest and across the U.S. through four program areas:

	COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH on crop improvement and seed production for organic systems
	EDUCATION on the agronomic, economic and socio-political elements of seed work
	Legal and cultural ADVOCACY toward policies that support organic agriculture and farmers’ rights to save seed
	OUTREACH supporting relationship building and network development across the seed community
