Santa Barbara Permaculture Network
Presents:

Humanity's Ancient Relationship
with Edible Seed Crops
with Lorenz Schaller of the Kusa Seed Society

Music by Russ Baggerly ("Chato") flamenco guitarist

Friday, January 30, 2009, 7 pm, Donation $5
Santa Barbara Central Library, Faulkner Gallery

I n honor of International Seed Swap Day, Santa Barbara Permaculture Network presents Lorenz Schaller of the Kusa Seed Society, speaking about Humanity's Ancient Relationship with Edible Seed Crops, on Friday, January 30, at the Santa Barbara Public Library, Faulkner Gallery.
The precious edible seeds of the earth - the cereal grains, grain-legumes, oilseeds and other precious edible seeds - have a history of small-scale cultivation and utilization which dates back more than 10,000 years. Lorenz Schaller's work and the mission of the Kusa Seed Society is to increase humanity's knowledge and understanding of this very ancient relationship.

Experience a colorful slide show of humanity's relationship with sacred cereal grasses such as barley, amaranth, kamut, spelt, millet, oats, quinoa, and other edible seed crops from around the world. Twenty years in the making the presentation is a pictorial tapestry woven from the threads of more than 400 international photo-images of spectacular beauty taken from remote agricultural villages and fields in places like the Himalayan mountains; rugged Ladakh; the Kingdom of Bhutan; the Tibetan plateau; rural Korea, Turkey, India, and many other lands.

A longtime Ojai resident, Lorenz Schaller is a remarkable steward of his environment. Having worked as a gardener and landscapist for many years, he developed a keen interest in the ancient tradition of seed saving. Formerly a staff member at the California Institute of Technology (Cal-Tech), Schaller studied and has taught the nutritional, culinary, and ecological significance of biodiverse seed crops for decades. Over time, his scientific knowledge merged with a deeper spiritual connection to the life cycles of the planet. He could see the bigger picture of how se ed crops supplied most of the world with important, densely nutritious foods. These miraculous plants feed more humans and wildlife than any other food source. Lorenz founded Kusa Seed Society ( www.ancientcerealgrains.org) in 1980. Kusa is a Sanskrit word meaning sacred grass.

The event takes place at the Santa Barbara Public Library, Faulkner Gallery, 40 East Anapamu St, in downtown Santa Barbara, on Friday, January 30, 7-9pm, 2009. No reservations are required, donation $5.

Here's a recent posting on the TED website of a presentation by Dan Barber,
chef, food scholar and co-owner of Blue Hill Restaurant in New York City and
Blue Hill at Stone Barn in Westchester, NY. They've termed it a parable,
and this story of foie gras is that, indeed. It's 20 minutes long and the
sustainable agriculture message builds throughout. It's worth watching it
from start to finish. Barber is a fascinating, compelling speaker and tells
a good story.
