The European census platform dedicated to seed diversity and availability.

Discover the launch of a new project aiming to raise awareness of the available seed diversity in Europe, contributing to picture the many actors involved, as a precious, thriving and dynamic European movement.

Seeds4All is a census platform eager to feature all European organisations that collect, enrich, produce, disseminate and sustainably use traditional and new varieties of seeds belonging to the public domain, freely reproducible and not genetically modified.

Seeds4All introduces a broad range of organisations – NGOs, citizens’ initiatives, businesses, formal & informal networks – and exhibits the number of cultivated plant varieties they keep, in order to promote their activity and create a much-needed space for common knowledge and experience sharing.

Seeds4All hopes to become a medium to facilitate access to information about seed-swaps and future market development opportunities in Europe, showing how rich and diverse are the initiatives dedicated to maintaining, promoting and evolving agrobiodiversity, and how they can learn from each other in order to grow and be spread everywhere.

The Agricultural and Rural Convention for 2020 (ARC2020) and the European Coordination Let’s Liberate Diversity! (EC-LLD) supports the vision and the development of the Seeds4All initiative that will help to multiply opportunities for cooperation between agrobiodiversity keepers and to highlight the extent of their commitment, which has been legally insecure for too long.
