WHY THE SEEDS OF CHANGE?

Biowatch’s work with rural communities promotes traditional seed banks amongst other practices.

A hot topic in the current global debate is the ever increasing use of food crops for fuel. Biowatch believes that saving traditional seeds and protecting and promoting small scale farming is one of the most important ways of ensuring future food security and biodiversity.

A traditional seed bank is the heart of a rural community, and the most effective form of small-scale agricultural sustainability. This is where farmers meet, share experiences, save, swap, select and distribute seed amongst each other. The general rule is that if you want to withdraw seed from the seed bank, you must also deposit seed into the seed bank.
