mason jars filled with hundreds of thousands of seeds line the shelves inside a small house in boulder, co. nearly every seed has been touched by a farmer at masa seed foundation, meticulously cleaned, examined, and counted before being stored. at masa, this small team of farmers works throughout the year, often seven days a week, to grow organic, bio regionally adapted crops. unlike other farms, masa rounds out the process by saving these seeds to be preserved for the next season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

masa is taking their practices back to the age before industrial farming, when saving a harvest\u2019s seeds, sharing, and trading them in the community was normal. but as populations grew and farms scaled up, the industry transitioned to genetically modified seeds, bio-engineered to withstand blights, resist toxic pesticides that otherwise would kill the plant, and maximize the yield and nutritional value. as the industry focused on crops designed for mass production, nearly 90% of crop varieties in agriculture were lost according to the food and agriculture organization<\/a> of the united nations.<\/p>\n\n\n

genetically modified seeds are often not adapted to specific climates, but they are many farmers\u2019 most reliable source for production. this precipitous drop in crop diversity has created an uncertain and fragile future for agriculture, one that masa is hoping to provide an answer to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cin 1929, 1930, before the first hybrid, everyone would be doing exactly what we do. we\u2019d be like, \u2018oh yeah, we save a part of the crop for seeds\u2019,\u201d said laura allard, the seed house and operations manager at masa. before production agriculture was the norm, farmers would trade and share seeds from that year\u2019s successful crops, fortifying a network of seeds adapted to grow in their local environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

the seed exchange<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

today, farmers can simply log into an online store and with a few clicks, add seed varieties from all over the world to their virtual shopping cart. for a commercial grower who\u2019s focused on one crop, like corn or soybeans, these genetically engineered seeds help strengthen the chances of a fruitful harvest. but many of these seeds are patented by companies like bayer and syngenta, making it illegal for farmers to save the seeds to plant next season and forcing farmers to repurchase new seeds at the start of every season.<\/p>\n\n\n

this leads to a dangerous homogeneity among available seeds that fails to take advantage of the resiliency inherent to a diverse population. seeds are like little nuggets filled with data, and by selecting for certain traits farmers can help a crop adapt to their environment overtime. \u201cwhatever that season was like, whether it’s maritime or dry, windy, whatever happens, those seeds have the knowledge of that in the face of inevitable extreme weather or climate changes,\u201d allard said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

masa\u2019s founder rich pecoraro has been breeding and adapting seeds for over 40 years. when he founded the non-profit in 2019, he donated his entire collection, which now holds more than 1,000 different crop varieties. these seeds\u2019 genetics hold decades of knowledge, and are slowly adapting to colorado\u2019s unique growing conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

during springtime on masa\u2019s 24 acres of land, greenhouses are beginning to overflow with the seedlings of hundreds of different plant varieties. leafy stems of \u2018billy buttons\u2019 craspedia wait patiently to sprout yellow globelike flowers, and soon the squat stalks of \u2018green zebra\u2019 tomato plants will blossom and don yellow and green striped fruits like ornaments.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

each plant sprouts from a seed, and nearly each seed has been touched by one of masa\u2019s farmhands. the work is meticulous and time consuming, from harvesting seeds the size of pencil tips to the hours spent misting carpets of green seedlings that cover greenhouse benches end to end. <\/p>\n\n\n

for masa, these seeds are sprouting more than just stems, they\u2019re contributing to a  sustainable vision. \u201cwe never pictured just being on this project, six or seven of us, working as hard as we can to get the next crop of seeds,\u201d allard said. while research and breeding are central to masa\u2019s mission to build a bio regionally adapted seed bank, the ultimate goal is to educate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

if they don\u2019t teach the importance of seed preservation, then this knowledge will only exist within the confines of the farm, allard explained. one of masa\u2019s next big steps is to launch their thousand petaled seed cooperative. masa would share seeds with community members, from novices to commercial farmers, for them to grow, adapt, and learn about seed preservation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cwe have to free ourselves to be able to find time or bandwidth \u2014 capacity is our word \u2014 to launch a mini ag campus for people to learn how to grow seeds, to be inspired to do it,\u201d allard said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

seed farming at scale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

masa is a piece of a global movement<\/a> to return to seed farming and build a more climate resilient agricultural system. university of colorado boulder professor nolan kane points out that masa is unique in its scale. \u201cit\u2019s not a huge place,\u201d kane said, but in terms of the number of varieties they\u2019re growing successfully, it\u2019s special. \u201cit’s not just cultivating something familiar. it’s doing that but also trying to generate something new.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

while industrial agriculture places constraints on seed sharing and negatively impacts biodiversity, there is still a place for it, according to kane. \u201cit certainly has provided very stable, high nutrition food for a huge population reliably,\u201d he said. at the same time, there\u2019s value in agriculture that focuses less on monoculture, and more on a genetically diverse community of plants.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

biodiversity in farming can lead to a more robust ecosystem. if one crop variety is affected by blight, or can\u2019t successfully adapt to a changing climate, it\u2019s failure won\u2019t decimate an entire food system. applying ideologies from masa and other seed sharing organizations can create a new approach to large scale farming, kane said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

for kane, it comes down to \u201cthinking about how to improve agriculture by both adding in alternatives in different ways to predominant agriculture, but also, how can we improve the way that we do large scale agriculture? those are both things that i think you can learn a lot from here by just seeing how they do things.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
