The Accidental Plant Breeder
We welcome Adam, author of The Seed Detective
Adam will talk to us about his latest adventures and encounters travelling to little known and understood places which are on the front-line championing traditional methods of plant breeding and maintaining locally adapted crops. In this talk he takes us from the southern Rift Valley of Ethiopia to the mountains of Albania, the rolling hills of Styria in Austria and the flatlands of Denmark discovering new varieties being bred by eccentric and inspiring amateurs alongside indigenous farmers ensuring their precious landraces continue to thrive – all in the pursuit of delicious and sustainable solutions to ensure an increased diversity in crops we can all grow in a changing climate. https://theseeddetective.co.uk/
