Global Seed Savers recently held the first Seed School 2 in partnership with Fastenaktion and the Filipino Farmers Seed Network (FFSN) at the FFSN office in Kidapawan City, Cotabato. The program aimed to build on participants’ existing knowledge of seed saving, equipping them with advanced skills in line with GSSP’s standards. This interactive session also focused on identifying participants who are qualified to advance to Seed School 3 and contribute to planning for 2025.
During the training, seasoned organic farmers from various communities shared their current farming practices, allowing for a dynamic exchange of knowledge. Despite being a newly introduced module, Seed School 2 fostered valuable discussions and insights, helping to shape the program for future iterations. By tailoring the curriculum to the participants’ real-world experiences, the program strengthened local expertise and promoted sustainable agricultural practices.
Thank you to everyone who attended and helped create a strong foundation for ongoing learning and collaboration within the seed-saving community!
