In this two part interview I learn more about their own vegetable breeding projects, but also take the rare opportunity to learn more about how their organisation got started, how it grew, and plans for the future. A great episode for people keen to get involved or start something similar in their part of the world. Check out all the work going on at Going to Seed: https://goingtoseed.org I highly recommend Julia's recent presentation on the link between crop genetics and nutritional content- https://youtu.be/5ErwX5_u7EE?si=ItAFtJzhdOL9PE49 Sign up to Recombination Nation on Substack for free weekly articles: https://recombinationnation.substack.com Read Shane's book, Taming the Apocalypse, about the future of post industrial biological technology: https://www.amazon.com/Taming-Apocalypse-Shane-Simonsen-ebook/dp/B0D2XCLJ85/","meta_description":"Julia Dakin and Anna Mieritz are key members of the \"Going to Seed\" organisation, which brings adaptation crop breeding to numerous communities in the USA…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":5037,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/recombination-nation-7074994/episodes/julia-dakin-and-anna-mieritz-how-going-to-seed-germinated/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/recombination-nation-7074994/julia-dakin-and-anna-mieritz-how-going-to-seed-germinated.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
