Building a Local Grain Movement from the Ground Up with Soil, Seed, and Diversity | $75,000 — This project will advance Colorado's ancient and heritage grain movement by bringing a wider diversity of grains into production, using regenerative practices, and working with a community of regional partners to share best practices through a series of fun educational events.
Boulder County Commissioners announced the recipients of the 2022 Sustainable Food & Agriculture Funds grants, of which MASA Seed foundation was an awardee. MASA is building a local, open seed bank as well as providing a hub for collaboration and educational efforts around regional seed development in Colorado's Front Range. That is a very oversimplified description of what they are doing, so definitely check out their site.
I was excited to see the specific application of funding towards the ancient and heritage grain movement right here in our neck of the woods.
