For thousands of years, since people began domesticating wild plants, Farmers all over the world, especially women, have selected and saved their seeds. Through time, Farmers have accumulated a deep knowledge of thousands of plant varieties they’ve nurtured to survive and thrive in all kinds of conditions – including the extremes of climate change.
These tiny packets of life carry a priceless inheritance. Each one of these seeds holds infinite potential; deep wells of genetic variety and adaptation nurtured over time. They are the seeds of our survival.
