This episode is a great interview with Kate Flint, who recently starred on Gardening Australia. We talk about seed saving, and food security.
Also, here is the information about the rally that Kate mentioned and asked me to share.
Please read and spread this through your network of friends about Monsanto’s mandatory Seed Registration and the criminalization of Heirloom seeds which the EU is trying to get passed into law ….. a horrifying thought! Once this law gets past in the European Union it will only be a matter of time until it will be enforced in Australia as well. That this is happening makes me want to urge you to join the March Against Monsanto happening May 25th, everywhere around the world. 284 cities are participating so far, and more are being added each day. There will be protests in most Australian cities including Hobart (if you are not in Hobart please click the list below of participating cities) and I thought you might be interested in participating yourself.
