Support Organic Seed Savers Access to Farmer Education in the Philippines
Farmers in the Northern Philippines have zero access to organic seeds. This forces farmers to purchase synthetic and non-organic seeds, which threaten environmental sustainability and cause great economic burdens for farmers who have to purchase seeds after each planting. This program will establish an organic seed library in the Municipality of Tublay in Benguet Province in the Northern Philippines. The seed library will ensure that indigenous farmers have access to locally produced organic seeds, which will protect the biodiversity of the Filipino food system.
