# 2021 CERES: Cultivating citizen seeds |
This is a project to give citizens the opportunity to participate in healthy, common and sustainable food production. Over time, the standardisation of agricultural production and the power wielded by multi-nationals has meant the loss of many native seed types and a great reduction in the variety grown. The Ceres project, in association with a group of organic farmers and associations is promoting the certification and sharing of native seeds, which have been kept in cold storage, with the wider public, thereby saving them from extinction and increasing bio-diversity.
