Seeds
Overview
Whether for agriculture, permaculture, restoration, conservation, or just a home garden, seeds and seed saving are an extremely important component to beginning. In a regenerative system, seed saving and trading provides a way to maintain and steward resilience in you local food system. Through sourcing seeds locally and saving them over time, seeds can become more adapted to local environmental conditions and/or endure changing conditions.
