Open Source Gardens @opensourcegardens@sunbeam.city

Great video by Dr. Vandana Shiva, 'Alternative Noble Prize' winner, who explains in 87 seconds concisely how #Open #Source #Software and Open Source #Seeds are the same: "they are a way of spreading prosperity and knowledge in society rather than creating scarcitiy and povertiy."

@FediFollows thank you so much for mentioning us <3

as you say we connect gardeners via #open #source #seeds that actually are plant varieties which haven't been patented and NEVER WILL BE patented thanks to the #copyleft genius included in the #license ^^

#gnu

These are 1500 #seeds of #Open #Source #Corn "Lisanco" and their license.

In our plenum today we disuss our spring campaign in that we will split them in smaller quantities and send them out together with other Open Source Seeds. Each of these seeds can grow another thousands of seeds that you are free to share with everyone else.

Get yourself one of these packages and start growing Open Source #Gardens this spring: https://opensourcegardens.info/order-seeds.en.html

"#Open #source #seeds pledging is a powerful tool of resistance against corporations’ shoring up of plant genetic resources. Aiming to preserve the rights of farmers, gardeners, and breeders to freely use, save, replant, and improve seed.”

“#Home #gardeners are often the leaders and the conscience of the #food #movement,” says Dr. Claire Luby, Director of the #Open #Source #Seeds Initiative, “It wasn’t mega-farmers who led the way with organic varieties, it was the home gardeners who wanted them."

For home gardeners seeking liberation from big companies: Every #OSSI-pledged seed purchase reinforces the idea of seed-saving as an inherent right.

@Capheind Not more yet than spreading Open Source Seeds : )

However, by now we only include seeds from the European Open Source Seeds: https://opensourceseeds.org/en/die-liste

We would love to include seeds from the OSS Initiative as well but we did not find any European resellers of their seeds ... And UK resellers are not allowed anymoe to send them to Europe due to Brexit : (

These are 1500 #seeds of #Open #Source #Chili "Black Heart" <3

We will split them in smaller quantities and send them out together with other Open Source Seeds. Each of these seeds can grow another thousands of seeds that you are free to share with everyone else.

Open Source offers freedom without limitations but due to the #Brexit, UK resellers of #Open #Source #Seeds - like "Real Seeds" and "Vital Seeds" - cannot anymore deliver to Europe since they need a "phytosanitary certificate" from now on.

Does anyone know of a European reseller of #OSSI licensed Freed Seed that is listed on https://osseeds.org/seeds/ ?

Ever wondered how a seed cleaning machine works and where to get one? You can DIY one yourself with the #OpenSource #Seed #Cleaning #Machine Design by The Real Seed Collection: https://www.realseeds.co.uk/seedcleaner.html

But Open Soure not only empowers people, it also creates resilient communities. Don't miss to check out the nice acknowledgements & reproductions around the world towards the bottom of the page <3

Es sorgt dafür, dass landwirtschaftliche Flächen immer den Menschen gehören, die sie ökologisch verantwortlich bewirtschaften und nutzen. Das Land ist dabei nicht Privateigentum, sondern unverkäuflicher Gemeinschaftsbesitz."
