Why Seed Banks?

I know this may seem like a silly idea to many of you, saving a seed bank, but this is truly one of the most important aspects to a healthy future. Plant biodiversity is key to a healthy ecosystem, and whenever you’ve enjoyed an amazing heirloom tomato, or any variety of fruit or vegetable, it’s because someone saved the seed for that plant and is care-taking to keep that and other varieties available to all of us.  Act now to save the worlds first seed banks!

We are finding out that many of our health issues are related to modern agriculture growing food in a mono-cultural system, one crop fields, because it is easiest to harvest that way. Nature defends herself when stripped of biodiversity and sends in the weeds bugs, fungus, etc. into the “unnatural” area to break it all down and build the natural diversity back in. Farmers using this monoculture system have been battling this issue for a millennium.  This is why all the herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides, but in turn are contaminating our creeks, rivers, and ground water to a level that many small towns across America, including one less than 10 miles from my folks place south of KC, can’t  use the water they’ve had as a resource ever since they became a town, for drinking or even bathing!

As we continue to allow our natural resources to be contaminated or rights sold to the highest or most connected bidder, we are going to continue to create a disastrously, unhealthy environment. In this case. the Pavlovsk Station,  has most of the varieties as actual living plants on the property, where most seed banks around the world just have the seeds. They have 100’s of thousands of varieties, even Hundreds of varieties of strawberries. Can you imagine!!! Check it out at their website, http://www.vir.nw.ru/

You see, Nature, even in agricultural areas, needs biodiversity in order to be healthy. If you believe in health and nutrition, this is where it all begins. Variety, high quality from nature (non-genetically-modified) seeds. We’ve lost our rights to water. Let’s not do the same with seeds. Let’s actually start working to get back every living beings rights to the most basic necessities of food and water.
