Your donation helps to preserve the genetic diversity of our food via heirloom seed farming education. Your support strengthens our food security in an uncertain future by protecting irreplaceable crops for future generations. Your gift keeps our agricultural heritage alive by preserving agricultural knowledge.

UCFA provides growers—particularly those from historically marginalized and under-served communities—with training in seed farming and seed saving, UCFA-supported Seed Hubs form a network of growers spanning rural, urban, and peri-urban communities, creating a living seed-bank system that maintains diverse heirloom varieties across multiple regions.

At UCFA seed farming training sites in Maryland, and in collaboration with Tuskegee University, American University, the Heirloom Gardens Oral History Project, the Seed Farm at Princeton, the Utopian Seed Project, the Experimental Farm Network, and other agricultural research partners, UCFA conducts research projects on the preservation, adaptation, and improvement of heirloom crop varieties.

We are contributing to agro-biodiversity by distributing culturally meaningful heirloom seeds. Heirloom seed preservation is achieved through UCFA's active cultivation, regeneration, and distribution of heirloom seeds. At UCFA we are preserving heirloom seed varieties with African, Asian, European, Indigenous American, and diasporic origins.
