When seeds are sown, gifted or packed on journeys, they carry stories. Stories of where they come from, whose hands saved them, which meals were cooked from their bounty and in which soil they were sown. In this storytelling circle hosted by the Seed Sovereignty Programme, we will hear from growers across the British Isles about the seeds which matter most to them. Seed sovereignty is the cornerstone of food sovereignty. Growers having agency of our collective seed stocks, building back crop diversity and growing that which is best suited to our culinary needs and environmental conditions is essential for a just and resilient food future. The stories platformed here will share a little of the magnificent diversity we have across the British Isles, the stewards of this diversity, and the ways humans and seeds are entangled.
