“Agro-Perma-Lab: SEEDS” 2021 Training is an online training series of 10 thematic modules for educators, social activists and community leaders in agroecology and permaculture from the Food Sovereignty Network in Poland and, by extension in English, in Europe. The training aims at developing a Polish curriculum and raising competences in the following areas:
1) strategies for creating Community Homes (Banks) and Seed Networks;
2) technical, economical and political aspects of managing seed production;
3) organizing and facilitating knowledge exchange and community education in seed-saving.
The training also addresses a variety of issues related to the preservation of seeds – from the practices of preservation and processing, to the organization of seed exchanges and live collections, to maintaining high-quality seed stock and the design of seed education. The main aim of “Agro-Perma-Lab: SEEDS” is to empower and skill-up Polish permaculture and agroecology educators and community activists within Food Sovereignty network to apply seed-saving strategies and seed-education in their local community food-growing initiatives and to contribute to the growth of the seed-savers’ network in Poland.
