Seed Stories Symposium
By weaving together science, culture, and art, the Seed Stories Symposium illustrated the indispensable link between seeds and cultural identity. From indigenous seed savers and community-driven seed banks to creative storytelling and poetic reflections, each session reinforced the idea that preserving biodiversity is not just an environmental imperative but also a means of safeguarding heritage and collective memory. As the symposium came to a close, participants left inspired to carry forward the seed stories shared over these three days—stories of resilience, dedication, and hope for a future where local seeds and culture flourish side by side.
