If we are going to live here for a long time, we need to develop our own sustainable agriculture.

If we are going to develop our own sustainable agriculture, we need to sustain a genetically diverse agriculture. The strength of our agricultural ecosystem will depend on its diversity.

If we are going to sustain a genetically diverse agriculture, we need to redevelop a network of gardeners and farmers, each producing, saving and trading seeds adapted to their own unique conditions. Agriculture was developed and sustained in this manner for 10,000 years.

If we are going to redevelop a network of gardeners and farmers that produce, save and trade seeds, we need a new kind of seed company. We need companies that don't just sell gardeners and farmers all their seeds each year. Instead, the seed company of the future will search the world's remaining agricultural resources constantly to find new supplies of important, adapted, open-pollinated varieties. It will then teach its customers to save their own seeds from individual plants doing best in their own gardens and farms.

Seeds Trust was started for this reason. It is nothing more than a conservative, long-term plan to help support and increase the priceless diversity now being squandered.

You can help immediately by sending us new varieties. We will be happy to reward you with your choice of one of our packets of seed.
