Cultivated Diversity – Organic seeds for tasty food

EU project LiveSeeding leaflets on cultivated diversity and organic breeding in several languages, and a bonus video of a baker that has adopted the biodiverse flour from populations in his work.

A consumer-oriented flier from EU project LiveSeeding promotes organic plant breeding as a sustainable way to develop local adaption and climate resilience. It highlights the importance of increasing cultivated diversity, in particular with regards to diversified populations and open pollinated varieties, encouraging consumers to support organic farming and local economies by buying locally and advocating for organic seed use.

Having enthusiastically embraced them in his work, Italian baker Stefano Piluso explains – in a YouTube video for Rete Semi Rurali that supports the message – how he became aware of wheat populations and learned to make bread with the stone-milled flour from those grains.
