Also: Improv & sketch comedy enthusiast. 🌱 seed saving & food growing 🌱 no dig gardening: grow your own food 🌱 regenerative veganic agriculture 🌱 Tufts graduate studies in nutrition/wellness 🌱 WFPBNO recipe dev & food preservation 🌱 nearly closed-loop farm for climate/environment 🍅 Owner of seed garden company located on 10 acres in zone 8b on the 🇨🇦 Canadian west coast. Use no dig, regenerative and permaculture practices without using any animal inputs to grow food and resilient seeds (rare, open source, heirloom & landrace varieties). 🤔 WHY are open source seeds so important? For climate, diversity, food security. Control the seed, you control life. Open source seeds support keeping diverse varieties available to the planet, instead of losing them to corporation-owned patents. Did you know most seeds are patented by a small number of corporations making it illegal for you to grow and save the seeds? Even organic, open pollinated ones. We’ve lost over 90% of commercial produce varieties, and now a growing number lost to patents! Learn, advocate and support open source seed growers and the groups working on them for greater variety of resilient produce! ✏️ Sharing why seed keeping and open source and landrace seeds are critical for food security, particularly due to politics, capitalism, and climate change. 🎓 Certificate of Graduate Studies in Developing Healthy Communities: Nutrition, Behavior, and Physical Activity from Tufts University.
