Joel Johnson and Monica Sanders from Native Seeds/SEARCH will be providing an overview of how their organization grows, saves, and shares arid-adapted crop seeds and works with farmers and gardeners throughout the Southwest to preserve agricultural biodiversity and to share knowledge and seeds. They will also speak about some of their composting methods with an emphasis on making high-fungal compost, which can provide unique benefits to desert soils, using a Johnson-Su composting bioreactor.
