Thank you, Wanjama for reminding us that seed is the beginning of life, all life. Congratulations for facilitating the Seed Savers Network.
Do you have online training for those who need to learn but are far from one of your farmers?
Keep it up Wanjama, when you conserve seed you conserve life in all organisms.
Daniel, I am happy to hear a person who has exactly the same approach as me. The biggest problem is people’s impatience. I started growing my own food with zero extra capital. But it took time. From everything I bought to eat, I also took out the seeds. I collected rainwater and made compost from my own garbage. Every drinking water bottle in which I grow plants to this day was kept. Independence is so important! I passed on my knowledge, but no one persevered. How can someone become part of your network?
Great work Daniel! Seed is our future currency!
great one Daniel wanjama!
This is great! Love all that you are doing to educate farmers to save seeds. Thank you for the information.
