SeedTV
SeedTV is a webinar series hosted by The Gaia Foundation’s Seed Sovereignty Programme for the seed network in the UK. The topics range from medicinal seeds to seed garlic, seed legislation changes to crowd breeding, but have one thing in common: seeds! Join us (roughly) quarterly to delve deep into the rich, regenerative, radical world of seed as we explore topics that have the most interest and impact for our networks.
If you have an idea for an upcoming SeedTV session, please get in touch at seedsovereignty@gaianet.org.
