Register HERE anytime for next class

Beyond agriculture, seeds carry cultural memory and ecological heritage. By treating them as part of the commons—like air and water—communities are safeguarding biodiversity through cooperative seed banks, swaps, and indigenous stewardship. The seed commons reframes seeds as shared wealth, ensuring they remain accessible for generations to come.  Greg and Bill will offer a few examples of the Seed Commons and demonstrate how they are impacting communities and self-sufficiency.
