Seeds are the embodiment of both the past and the future. They represent generations of farmers whose work in close observation and selection brought us the incredible wealth of varieties we still have available to us today. At the same time they hold the potential for shaping the very foundations of our future food supply. They contain memory, history, and culture. They fill us with both wonder and hope and a sense of responsibility. We are the stewards who will shepherd them forward in this unbroken chain. It is up to us to ensure that coming generations will still enjoy these treasures. Let's get to work!
