Greetings

We are very pleased to announce April 26 as International Seeds Day (ISD)

We thank all those who endorsed the event and are willing to help publicize the events taken place on that day and/or organize an event on that day. See list of endorsers below.

Please let us know by April 1st what events you intend to hold on April 25/26/27 providing the time, place, subject and participants, email/website. We intend to send a press release to the media and our large list on April 2nd.

We encourage those of you who have not endorsed the event yet to join this important campaign. There is still time to endorse April 26 and help us make it a productive and informative day internationally. If you wish to endorse it, please email us your organization's and/or your full name, website and location (city/country).
This short 8-minute film (in Arabic and English) presenting Dr. Vandana Shiva is informative and strongly recommended to watch. It is from an interview conducted in February by Wafaa' Al-Natheema in New Delhi:

Kindly forward it to your list.

The following is a lengthy and detailed report from one of the endorsers, Grain International, about US agribusiness in Afghanistan and IRAQ. It is a strongly recommended reading and should be translated to other languages especially Arabic and Dari languages:

Again we gratefully thank our endorsers.
