FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Planting seeds in your garden is a natural joy so you might want to sow a future that keeps humanity’s common property just that. Inspired by the open source tech movement, the recently launched Open Source Seed Initiative allows gardeners and farmers to save the seeds of 29 heritage vegetable, fruit and grain crops after harvest and pass the plants on to others to use freely. No legal constraints and no big agribusiness patents. Just a new spin on an old idea of sharing and a harvest of determination from one community that peppers, lettuce, kale, barley and carrots remain as free as nature intended them.
