Members attended a Seed Saving Workshop at the Piedmont BioFarm in Pittsboro, NC, sponsored by the Abundance Foundation.  Learning Seed Saving is one way of supporting local food supplies which are regionally sustainable versus agribusiness driven.  Seed saving allows for selection based upon hardiness for local conditions & for diversification of the gene pools of our food supplies.  Diversification becomes more important in times of unstable or unpredictible climate changes.  Seed Saving also completes the circle of sustainability for our food cycles.  Local production & sharing decreases fossil fuel use required to transport seeds from other regions.
