Ask questions and share your ideas about how Open Source Philosophy applies to Agriculture.

Discussion will probably include topics from:

  • Breed Your Own Vegetable Varieties by Carol Deppe
  • Seed Libraries (and other means of keeping seeds in the HANDS of the PEOPLE) by Cindy Conner
  • The Open Source Seed Initiative (www.osseeds.org)
  • Farm Hack (An Open Source Community for Resilient Agriculture (www.farmhack.org)

We may also discuss the potential effects of GMO crops, plant patents, copyrights, and trademarks on seed savers and Open Source plant breeders..
