Okay, this isn’t really a stop the presses headline, but since there are a lot of new readers here who may never have heard of GRAIN maybe this is a good time to introduce them.
In their words:
GRAIN is an international non-governmental organisation which promotes the sustainable management and use of agricultural biodiversity based on people’s control over genetic resources and local knowledge.
Since in many cases there’s a fine line between farming and gardening, and many of the issues addressed by GRAIN are relavent for home heirloom gardeners too. It might be worth having a look at the latest issue of their magazine Seedling if you haven’t seen it before.
