Description: Seed-based restoration is fundamental to most terrestrial restoration efforts, yet the seed systems needed to support large-scale, durable outcomes are often underdeveloped. As restoration targets grow worldwide, practitioners and seed producers face a shared challenge: how to build reliable, regionally adapted seed supply that can meet increasing demand. In Building Restoration Capacity Through Seed: Lessons from a Nuffield Scholar’s Global Study, Renny W. Grilz, PAg and a Nuffield Scholar, shares insights from a multi-year global study of native seed systems, informed by direct engagement with seed producers, seed banks, and restoration practitioners across Europe and North America. The webinar examines how effective seed systems connect wild collection, production, storage, applied science, and procurement into functional supply chains that enable restoration at scale.
