Seeds of Sovereignty shares the stories of African communities embarking on a journey to revive their traditional seed diversity, and take back control over their food systems. Forging a path toward a socially just, ecologically sane and sovereign future, they are courageously challenging the corporate, profit driven model of agriculture imposed upon them.
Through the voices of local and indigenous farmers, the 30-minute film unpacks the approach responsible for this revival, evolved by The Gaia Foundation and African Biodiversity Network, alongside partner organisations and communities. Aligned with the principles underpinning the growing global movement for food sovereignty, it provides a guide for anyone looking to revive traditional, diversity rich, seed and farming systems around the world.
