seed savers

Seed savers are individuals or organizations that save and preserve seeds from plants to ensure genetic diversity and maintain plant varieties for future use. They collect seeds from healthy, desirable plants, store them properly, and sometimes share them to support local agriculture, biodiversity, and food security. This practice helps protect rare or heirloom plant varieties from extinction, promotes resilient farming systems, and reduces dependence on commercial seed companies. Seed savers play a vital role in conserving the genetic richness of our food crops and wild plants for future generations.
