Nate Kleinman addresses climate change on the farm and in the garden, through the fostering of native and resilient plants, grassroots plant breeding, citizen research, and seed saving. Kleinman founded the Experimental Farm Network to promote a variety of exciting plant exploration projects. He teaches agro-ecology techniques, how to utilize germ-plasm resources and how to access free seeds and find rare plants. His work champions what he calls “a citizen-science model for developing staple crops.” With the Experimental Farm Network, he is evolving techniques for variety development and putting them into the hands of laypeople.

Very cool Nate. I've gotten really inspired from these talks. Thank you!
Thanks living web for putting this out. Just shows how much research is needed in our own backyards. If we could pull our heads out of our collective arses and get people back in touch with nature. Gosh I really love the story of genetics. There’s so much information and clues to our native Americans that we could learn from. Saddens me to hear of plant species that can’t reproduce. Nate hope you all get everything going and become a great Nature preserve. God’s best to you all.
