The Guardians Of The Seed: Promo

www.seedsavers.net Watch 100 000 rice seed varieties disappear into the thin air....the 3:43 minute introduction to the 57 minute doco, "Our Seeds" that we made. As progress moves towards industrialisation and modernisation of farming and food processing a sad casualty is biodiversity as third world and traditional farmers are encouraged to adopt modern hybrid varieties and chemical farming techniques, often unsuited to their environment and needs. Along with this is a loss of traditional knowledge of the cultural, nutritive and medicinal uses of food plants.
This is a small clip from our upcoming documentary film highlighting how traditional farmers act as the preservers of biodiversity and traditional culture. Filmed in Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, India, Sri Lanka, Umbria, Taiwan, France and Italy. Made in Italy as a promo by Micheal Shaun Conneway and Alex Mynk of Story Works.
