The Basics of Seed Saving

Saving seeds is fundamental to permaculture, biodiversity and true food sovereignty and self-sufficiency. The handful of food monopolies that sell us seeds are only interested in profit and have no interest in assuring the nutritional value of our food, much less biodiversity or long term food security. Since Food Inc took over breeding and mass producing our seeds, 75% of our cultivated vegetable species have been lost. At present 75 percent of the world’s food is generated from only 12 plants and five animal species. Seed saving is free and easy to learn.
