SUMMARY:Virtual Buyer-Seller Mixers
DESCRIPTION:Our interactive virtual mixers target diverse organic and transitional grain products\, including pulses\, small and alternative grains\, and feed-grade ingredients. Participants will connect for 20-minute meetings in a private virtual meeting room to discuss sourcing needs and discover new business opportunities within the supply chain. \nVirtual Mixers create a unique and engaging space for discovery within the organic marketplace\, thereby facilitating the development of meaningful connections across the organic supply chain. Buyers and sellers will register for individual mixers based on the specific type of grain. Our team will facilitate connections between buyers and sellers and ensure participants have the opportunity to connect in 20-minute virtual sessions with buyers or sellers based on mutually-aligned needs and geography.

SUMMARY:Tubers! Community Call with the Staple Crop Growers Network
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 Staple Crop Community Call series continues to discuss a more well-known storage crop: tubers. Domesticated almost 10\,000 years ago and native to the Americas\, this crop deserves more attention and protection of its magnitude of indigenous varieties. This conversation will also touch on sweet potatoes vs yams\, and the jerusalem artichoke (sunchoke). This webinar is part of an ongoing series focused on the food crops that sustain us\, connect us to our heritage\, and help us adapt to changing climates and food systems. Participants are encouraged to bring questions and share experiences from the field. Participants will also connect with farmers and resource providers from Michael Fields Agricultural Institute\, Michigan Food & Farming Systems\, Fondy Food Center\, and Fresher Together.

SUMMARY:Socioecological Resilience for Organic Farms
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar we aim to learn about how agroecological practices can help us to increase socio-ecological resilience. This event is for farmers\, gardeners\, and organic seed enthusiasts who want to learn about principles and practices to increase farm resilience. Organic seed is produced on organic farms\, and with the constant challenges and changes of the current times\, it is important that we are prepared at different levels to be able to recover after a disturbance. Let’s talk with Professor Clara Nicholls from the University of California and the Latin American Scientific Society of Agroecology (SOCLA) about how agroecology has the potential to help us to increase socio-ecological resilience.
