#ExeterSeedBank Broad Bean Meet-up! Sunday 2 Nov 14:30-16:30, Newtown Community Centre!

Booking essential https://www.exeterseedbank.co.uk/events/exeter-broad-bean-workshop-nov-2?.

Over 25 growers participated in last year's ‘crowd growing’ experiment and we hop to continue into the 2025-2026 broad bean season.
The aim is to grow a mixture of broad bean varieties which will open pollinate and become more genetically diverse each year ultimately developing a true Exeter Broad Bean!

Io non sapevo niente di questo.
"What many people do not know, however, is the far from Italian and typical origin of this tomato, which arrived in Pachino in the 1980s thanks to the maneuvering of an Israeli technology company, which continues to enrich itself thanks to this tomato, which is of an almost sterile variety and therefore with the seeds that are bought back every year by farmers."

Very good article. I disagree on the part of genetically modified seeds because there is no need of them and the huge amount of agrichemicals they need. There are a lot of research on natural plant hybridisation, programs to protect native seeds and so forth in the so-called Global South.

15 farmers faced the Kenyan government in court today - risking everything to defend their right to save and share seeds. 🌱✊⁣
⁣
Why? A harmful law makes it a crime for farmers in Kenya to use traditional seeds, trapping them in a system run by seed corporations.⁣
⁣
💥 Now’s the moment. The Kenyan government must fix this broken law.⁣
