What does food sovereignty actually mean, and what role does seed play in it? Together with Stefan Doeblin, participants will explore how plant breeding, biodiversity, and vibrant communities are interconnected and why the future of our food starts with the choice of a single seed. The workshop addresses the developments of modern agriculture alongside alternative approaches to a community-focused seed culture. Together, participants will brainstorm ideas on how to preserve and advance diversity, breeding, and local knowledge as the foundation of resilient food systems. Designed for anyone who sees every purchasing decision as a vote for the future.
