The practice of sharing seeds as as old as humanity. Now branded a grand Open Source, the seeds are an example of how far we have gone into believing that seeds can be the patented property of some corporation. In India, Anadana or “gift of seed or the gift of food, is fully part of the vedic culture. People have survived better because they have shared seeds mosly to mix with their landraces or varieties of grain, vegetables, legumes to make them stronger. Please share you seeds with local seed network on this page.
