On April 15 at 9:30 am, we will conduct a field visit in Pergamino to tour the trial of the open-pollinated maize variety Original – Bioleft, developed together with Enrico Cresta in organic production systems.
The day proposes starting from concrete experience: learning how this variety was developed, what decisions were made throughout the process, and how it performs in the field today. During the tour, an exchange will be opened regarding selection criteria, management, and lessons learned, incorporating the perspectives of those who participate.
Additionally, the experience of registering the variety with INASE will be shared, addressing what this process entails and what possibilities it opens for those working with open-pollinated seeds.
In a second stage, a broader conversation will be proposed regarding seed development in the hands of producers, its challenges and potential, and a work proposal for the 2026–27 campaign will be presented, oriented towards those who want to become more actively involved.
The activity is aimed at producers and advisors interested in seeds, agroecological production, and their own development strategies.
During the day, no seed delivery or distribution will take place.
