The ADAPT community science program is a fun and exciting way to get involved in Seed Savers Exchange’s mission of preserving and sharing our food crop heritage. Participants in ADAPT grow varieties selected from the seed bank in their own gardens and send us feedback on the yield performance, stress tolerance, growth cycle, etc. This information helps us better understand the performance of these varieties in different regions and climates, and helps guide SSE’s regeneration efforts, distribution priorities, and future catalog offerings.
Sounds like fun, right? So why not sign up for the 2027 trials? I heard about it here.
