Webinar Plant breeding on Nature's terms-dr Walter Goldstein 2026031
(ETA:
https://vimeo.com/1176218246/45943ee1ac if the above isn't working.)
This video was pointed out to me by the
Going To Seed social media account. It appears to be about two and a half hours long, but the last 45 minutes is just silence you can skip.
Dr. Goldstein from the
Mandaamin Institute talks about breeding maize/corn and liberating good genes from old commercial varieties and making sure they have old Hopi (&c) genes for nitrogen fixation and many other topics. It was really a great lecture and helped me reify my belief that maize has a permanent place as a restorative annual on my property even as I continue to tip my efforts toward perennial production. He also spoke at length about
the role of endophytes and Dr. James White's work.
