**AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** THE ORGANIC SEED GROWERS CONFERENCE IS A BIENNIAL GATHERING BY AND FOR AGROECOLOGICAL SEED COMMUNITIES IN THE U.S. AND ACROSS THE WORLD. THE EVENT CREATES SPACES WHERE EXPERIENCED AND EMERGING SEED STEWARDS CAN CONVENE TIMELY CONVERSATIONS, EDUCATIONAL TRAINING, AND STRATEGY SESSIONS. THE GATHERING SERVES AS A CONDUIT FOR MAKING NEW CONNECTIONS AND CATCHING UP WITH OLD FRIENDS, NETWORKING ACROSS ORGANIC SEED COMMUNITIES, SHARING KNOWLEDGE WITH OTHER PARTICIPANTS, AND CELEBRATING THE GROWING MOVEMENT. ORGANIZERS CURATE A CONFERENCE AGENDA THAT REFLECTS THE MULTIFACETED NEEDS OF SEED GROWERS AND ADVOCATES, NO MATTER THE EASE OR DISCOMFORT OF THE TOPICS. THE GOAL OF THE ORGANIC SEED GROWERS CONFERENCE IS TO INSPIRE INDIVIDUALS, COMMUNITIES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND BUSINESSES TO TAKE ACTIONS THAT SUPPORT AND IMPROVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE PHILOSOPHICAL AND PRACTICAL SYSTEMS THAT MAKE UP THE ORGANIC SEED MOVEMENT AND TRADE.
