About

The Seed Library Network is an organization dedicated to supporting communities to steward their seeds and our connection to each other and the food that nurtures us. Seed libraries can vary from community to community, but the basic idea is that seeds are made available to the community for free. Some of the intentions of seed libraries are:
  • increase access to locally grown food
  • social justice
  • local resilience
  • food security
  • seed sovereignty
  • ​preserve stories and culture
  • promote seed saving
  • community building
  • preserve and increase genetic diversity
  • pro-active response to climate change
  • desire to strengthen genetically honest seed

Mission 
The Seed Library Network: Cultivating Community Seed Libraries and Seed Sovereignty.


Vision
A robust seed library in every community that is accessible to all and that honors the wisdom of the seeds and their keepers.
