For the past 15 years, I worked to develop a network to create, preserve, and share genetically-diverse landrace varieties. The huge project exceeded my abilities. After publishing my book, a group of collaborators joined me in the endeavor.
The collaborators help me to refine my ideas. They challenge me to be consistent in how I talk about landraces, and the associated political and social issues. They invite me to apply the principles of landrace gardening to all of my growing and social interactions. They take care of technical, financial, social, and administrative tasks that immobilize me. Their neurodiversity and compassion help us work through difficult issues with grace and goodwill.
I feel honored to announce that a non-profit organization,
Going To Seed, has been organized to continue this work.
