Description
Welcome to GermiNation—the podcast where seeds tell their stories. Brought to you by the Iowa State University Seed Science Center, a global leader in seed research, education, and outreach, and Seed Today, the premier publication that connects seed industry leaders across the United States and Canada with practical insights, equipment information, and resources to improve operations and grow their businesses.
Each episode, we explore the beauty, wonder, and science of seeds—tiny powerhouses at the heart of agriculture, biodiversity, and global food security. Through conversations with scientists, farmers, industry leaders, and changemakers worldwide, we explore how seeds connect us, sustain us, and shape our future.
This is GermiNation—where every great story starts with a seed.
