Abstract

A global push to restore degraded terrestrial ecosystems requires an enormous and ever-increasing quantity of native seeds. Unfortunately, in most cases, such precious resources are not available in the quantity, quality and diversity required to support such restoration efforts. Limitations to seed supply have been identified in many countries, and numerous public and private initiatives of varied scope and magnitude have embarked on the journey of addressing the issues currently crippling the native seed supply chain. This chapter presents Case Studies of five prominent native seed supply systems that have developed independently in different parts of the World (Brazil, Western United States, Midwest United States, Europe and Australia) in the hope of providing useful guidance and inspiration for the improvement of existing and emerging native seed markets.
