J MillsI don’t want to die with a freezer full of seeds, Chris Smith"Our desire to preserve is strongly linked to a narrative of loss, both for biodiversity writ large and for rare heirloom seeds. But we recognize the need for biodiversity and destroy it in the same breath. What if we protected the Amazon instead of just the genetics within it?

The Seed Savers Exchange of Decorah, Iowa is local vegetable seeds as far as local goes. We are members. The seed catalog is lovely. The pepper and tomato varieties are hard to equal. The varieties rotate in and out. The Seed Savers Exchange also has a historical Apple tree orchard.

Bloem en OogstHoi! Wij zijn Eline en Gossen en beheren een prachtig veld in de provincie Drenthe van ongeveer 8000m2, waar we ook bloemzaden op kweken. Dit doen we biologisch gecertificeerd en met hulp van het vele leven dat er op de kwekerij te vinden is. Naast vermeerdering van zaden, werken we ook aan eigen selecties door middel van traditionele veredeling. Voor ons is het belangrijk om altijd te streven naar een balans tussen geven en nemen, een samenwerking met het landschap. Al vanaf de start in 2017 bewerken we de bodem zo min mogelijk, <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nodig?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nodig</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/notill?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#notill</a> is onze dagelijkse praktijk, om te zorgen voor een solide bodemvoedselweb.

Here, commercially produced varieties offer huge yields but high licensing restrictions, meaning that farmers often cannot save seed as they might have done in the past, because they do not own it."Numerous activists, such as the renowned Vandana Shiva, have voiced concerns over the proliferation of private seed banks in India. Shiva argues that seed monopolies could lead to a loss of diversity, increased seed costs, and a rise in chemical use in seed production. Her advocacy emphasizes the importance of community seed banks in preserving agricultural diversity and supporting local farmers."Despite the dominance of private seed companies, numerous community-based seed banks are now thriving across India, helping farmers to get access to lost varieties without paying high charges. One notable example is the seed bank initiative in Kolli Hills, Tamil Nadu, which demonstrates the potential of local solutions using native seeds to prevent private firms from dominating the local market."The Kolli Hills region is home to the Mayalali tribes, who have been cultivating traditional millet varieties with the support of community seed banks. The initiative began in 2009 with the establishment of a single seed bank. Today, there are seven such banks operating across the region. These seed banks have successfully conserved over 20 varieties of millet that had not been previously cultivated for nearly a decade."Read more: <a href="https://rapidtransition.org/commentaries/community-seed-banks-revive-diversity-in-indias-kolli-hills/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://rapidtransition.org/commentaries/community-seed-banks-revive-diversity-in-indias-kolli-hills/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SustainableAgriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SustainableAgriculture</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SeedBanks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SeedBanks</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SeedSaving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SeedSaving</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FoodSecurity</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FoodSovereignty</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigAg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigAg</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PlantDiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PlantDiversity</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TraditionalPlantVarieties" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TraditionalPlantVarieties</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NonGMO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NonGMO</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HierloomPlants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HierloomPlants</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HierloomSeeds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HierloomSeeds</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunityAgriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommunityAgriculture</a>

Broadfork<a href="https://mastodon.social/@saprentice" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@saprentice</a> Great stuff. It’s brilliant to keep these heirloom varieties going. I grow a lot of beans for shelling, storing and also for planting next year. I don’t grow enough for self sufficiency but it’s good to always have a few jars of dried beans in the cupboard. <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gardening</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/SeedSaving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SeedSaving</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Heirloom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Heirloom</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GrowYourOwn</a>
