Seeds and people: we have shaped each other.

Throughout most of our history, people have chosen the most resilient, most productive, most nutritious seeds. Those seeds have nourished us for the following year, and the year after that. Sowing, selecting, saving and sharing the source of new life was an intrinsic part of growing.

Yet, in a short space of time, our long-honed skill with seed has withered. Society has pursued commerce over co-evolution.

This new film from The Gaia Foundation captures the re-emergence of an ancient occupation. It follows the market gardeners in Ireland who are returning to seed production; amongst the chaos of Brexit and climate change, their story offers security and hope for the future.

They are seeding tomorrow. And we invite more growers to do the same.
