Resilience: Itâs a buzzword in the vegetable-seed industry, and a mission â to breed genetically resilient varieties that stand up to pests, diseases, and the rigors of a shifting climate.
Each resilient variety becomes a tiny, critical ingredient in a resilient seed system that supports agriculture, the foundation of a resilient food system.
And in the tumultuous 2020 seed-catalog season, resilience proved a valuable human trait as well, for seed company staff and their customers. Insights gleaned from that chaotic year of record sales can smooth the ground for the 2021 garden season, which officially begins this month, as new catalogs start appearing in mailboxes and online.
