Seeds of Renewal
The Seeds of Renewal aims to restore and revitalize traditional food and culture, and promote food sovereignty through recovery of heirloom crop varieties. Our work has focused on research and oral history concerning traditional Indigenous Abenaki crop varieties, and then returning seeds of those varietals to local tribe producers.
