The Open Source Seed Intitiative

The Open Source Seed Initiative has begun at the University of Wisconsin. Recognizing that we need to share our genetic heritage to build a stable future they have started with mostly edible plants like Kale, Carrots, Barley, Spelt etc. These seeds will be freely shared and can't be patented. They are available to anyone and everyone. The seed bank will grow and all the growers will help, share and benefit along the way.
