Use your power as a commercial grower, community group member, allotmenteer, or windowsill warrior to stand up for seed.
Buy open-pollinated seed
We’ve compiled a list of producers who are all committed to cultivating, selecting and saving the best possible quality organic seed. By supporting small-scale producers based here in the UK and Ireland, you cast a vote for an ecologically sane seed and food system that doesn’t cost the Earth.
Learn how to save seed
Anyone can help cultivate seed sovereignty by learning how to save seed.
If you’re a commercial grower or community food producer, you can sign up for our Year-Long Training programme. If you’re a home gardener or someone who is keen to learn more about seed, we’ve compiled a list of books, podcasts, and more to set you on your way.
