I’m your host, Cindy Hicks, coming to you from the Iowa State University Seed Science Center, a global leader in seed research, education, and outreach. Each episode, we dig into the beauty, wonder, and science of seeds—those tiny powerhouses at the heart of agriculture, biodiversity, and global food security. Through conversations with scientists, farmers, industry leaders, and changemakers around the world, we explore how seeds connect us, sustain us, and shape our future. This is GermiNation—where every great story starts with a seed. ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/germination-7438641 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/germination-7438641.md ## Episodes -
