What your donation supports
Seed Farming Education
UCFA provides growers—particularly those from historically marginalized and under-served communities—with training in seed farming and seed saving, UCFA-supported Seed Hubs form a network of growers spanning rural, urban, and peri-urban communities, creating a living seed-bank system that maintains diverse heirloom varieties across multiple regions.
Seed Farming & Research
In collaboration with Tuskegee University, the Seed Farm at Princeton, the Utopian Seed Project, the Experimental Farm Network, and other agricultural research partners, UCFA conducts research projects on the preservation, adaptation, and improvement of heirloom crop varieties.
Seed Preservation
Seed Preservation
Heirloom seed peservation is achieved through UCFA's active cultivation, regeneration, and distribution of heirloom seeds. At UCFA we are preserving heirloom seed varieties with African, Asian, European, Indigenous American, and diasporic origins.
