If SEED SAVING is collecting seeds for replanting in the
future…
Then SEED STEWARDSHIP is the process of saving
seeds with the purpose of maintaining or improving
that seed’s health and resilience.
It also includes the
act of saving and selecting a variety over a period of
many seasons, with the end goal of passing it on to
others in the future.
The ideal of SEED SOVEREIGNTY firmly plants seed
saving and seed stewardship in the realm of
fundamental human rights.
It is the freedom to save
seed and determine the foundation on which our food
system rests.
With the current attacks of industry
hitting at the heart of food sovereignty, the simple act
of seed saving becomes a major act of resistance and
social empowerment.
