SEED SAVING & FOOD SOVEREIGNTY

Thursday, November 5th, 4:40PM EST

This panel will focus on the process of saving seeds as a way to cultivate resilience within the Food System, specifically within Indigenous communities across the globe. Each seed not only carries potential of a bountiful harvest, but also the stories of families and tribes passed down through generations. This panel highlights leaders in the seed saving community who will discuss the importance of this practice in the grain ecosystem and how they are working towards food sovereignty in their regions.
