As awareness grows around issues of food and sustainability, people everywhere are waking up to the vital importance of seeds. Now more than ever, we need small, bioregional seed operations to replace the “one-size-fits-all” industrial seed system. To answer this need, Native Seeds/SEARCH has created Seed School.

Think “Seeds First”

Seed School is a groundbreaking 6-day course designed to help participants create new regional and sustainable seed production and distribution systems. Students walk away from this innovative educational program with the knowledge and inspiration to start their own heirloom seed company, organize a community seed-lending library, and train others in the art and practice of seed saving. Seed School is for gardeners, farmers, seed savers, entrepreneurs, NGOs, policymakers and anyone interested in turning the tide on the industrialization of our food and agriculture.
