The Seed Exchange Network

The Seed Exchange Network is a community-based system where farmers, gardeners, and seed savers share and trade seeds. It promotes biodiversity by preserving diverse plant varieties and reducing dependence on commercial seed companies. Participants exchange seeds directly, often locally, fostering resilient and adaptable crops suited to specific environments. This network supports sustainable agriculture, encourages seed saving, and helps ensure seed availability for future generations, all while strengthening community ties around shared horticultural interests.
