David McKeithen participated in a session dedicated to strategies toward the financial sustainability of organic plant breeding. The Webinar framework allowed for contrasting and highlighting a diversity of proposals from plant breeding ventures, public policies, and philanthropy.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/web-800-x-500-px-21.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/web-800-x-500-px-21.png 800w, https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/web-800-x-500-px-21-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/web-800-x-500-px-21-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/web-800-x-500-px-21-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>During his presentation, David shared about Bioleft's work in participatory breeding and open-source seed innovation. He explained how decentralized networks of producers, breeders, and researchers collaborate to conserve, improve, and circulate locally adapted seeds, while simultaneously experimenting with diversified financing strategies and legal tools inspired by open-source principles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The presentation highlighted how collaborative governance, resource diversification, and open access to genetic resources can contribute to building more resilient and inclusive seed systems, particularly in contexts of institutional uncertainty and limited support for organic breeding.&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David McKeithen, investigador asociado en BIOLEFT, particip\u00f3 como expositor en el III Webinar de LiveSeeding UE para impulsar las semillas org\u00e1nicas y la innovaci\u00f3n en fitomejoramiento, realizado en l\u00ednea los d\u00edas 10 y 11 de marzo de 2026.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":5563,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5562","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-novedades"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5562"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5562"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5562\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5563"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5562"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5562"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bioleft.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5562"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
