This week, our market gardener Armand is harvesting carrots from open-source, locally-produced seeds. Why? * Using seeds produced in Belgium encourages our food sovereignty. Open-source seeds can be produced by anyone. They are free to use and have not been manipulated in labs. * They have been selected on local organic farms and gardens depending on their performance. They are therefore better adapted to our terroir and climate. This ensures they’re hardy plants, more resistant to the diseases and parasites of our regions. * They offer great genetic diversity and are generally selected for their resistance, but also for their taste. We use these seeds because they foster more biodiversity, more local endorsement and more natural and nutritious food production, perfectly in line with our values... And, who knows, we might inspire you or other producers to do the same! Food change starts with the soil and the seeds 🙂🌱
