Let’s start at the very beginning. Some might say that it all began with the seeds.
Seeds have long been a part of India’s cultural heritage. In a country where about 70 percent of the population still lives in rural and semi-rural communities, seeds are an integral part of many rituals, ceremonies and festivals that celebrate the cycle of birth, life and death. The practice of seed saving has been a cornerstone of Indian farming traditions that made agriculture, itself, a way of life.
