Seed People Portraits
People developed relationships with seeds thousands of years ago. We’ve continued to co-evolve throughout history with seeds becoming more dependent on people and people becoming more dependent on seeds. Today our lives are intertwined with the lives of seeds whether we’re aware of it or not. And the people behind the scenes- caring for seeds, protecting seed diversity, fighting for seed freedom, struggling for seed justice, and sharing seeds through community- are almost as invisible as the seeds.
Help us shine a light on seed people and the seeds they love.
