'By preserving varieties, we are keeping seeds alive for future generations.'
"...it was with some interest I recently attended a talk at the Squamish Public Library, sponsored by Squamish CAN, on seeding, where I discovered there is more to it than putting seeds in a jar, replanting them in soil and watching them grow.
In her talk, Marie-ève Boutin, sustainable food projects co-ordinator, with SquamishCAN, asked why one would save seeds. Yes, saving your own seeds and trading with friends means you don’t have to pay for them. It was also mentioned that 75% of food biodiversity has become extinct in the last 100 years. "
