We are happy to share that registration for our Organic Vegetable Seed Production course is now live and we welcome you to register.
Canadian Organic Growers (COG) is proud to offer this comprehensive, intermediate course focused on supporting a new generation of successful, commercial, organic seed producers in Canada. Access to organic, biodiverse, and locally adapted seeds is key to the success of the organic farming sector in Canada, yet organic seed availability remains limited.
Farmers across North America and Europe, surveyed in 2021 and 2022, identified a lack of training opportunities in seed production as a key barrier to strengthening the organic farming sector. This course helps address this gap in Canada by offering education on technical seed production as well as the development of a sound business plan in which seed production becomes part of a viable farming livelihood.
This course is designed and delivered in partnership with The Bauta Family Initiative on Canadian Seed Security (a program of SeedChange), with funding provided by the Continuing Education and Training Association of BC (CETABC).
Please be sure to thoroughly review the course overview and refund policy on our website. The course is being offered from February 3rd to March 31st, 2025. Registration closes on January 17th, 2025. If you have any questions please contact ovsp@cog.ca.
