Join us for an engaging webinar that delves into the nuanced world of seed sourcing methodologies, comparing directly harvested seed with native seed production through propagation or farming. Our session will unravel the fundamental differences between seed harvest and collection methods, exploring the strengths and potential barriers associated with direct seed harvesting. Discover the intricate technical steps involved in direct native seed harvest, from pre-harvest considerations such as restoration goals, reference site selection, and navigating regulations and stakeholder compensation, to the actual harvesting process. We will dissect the key aspects of seed quality, processing, and storage, shedding light on the intricacies of the supply chain in the post-harvest phase.
