The Bauta Family Initiative on Canadian Seed Security

Bauta Family Initiative on Canadian Seed Security

We are proud to be a regional representative of the Bauta Family Initiative on Canadian Seed Security. Since 2012, the Bauta initiative advances agricultural biodiversity through collaborations with Canadian organic and agro-ecological seed stakeholders. Together, with their team, we work to increase the quality, quantity, and diversity of ecological seed in BC and across Canada. Alongside farmers, producers, researchers, and more than 100 civil partners across the country, we are building resilient and diverse Canadian seed systems.

The Bauta Family Initiative on Canadian Seed Security is a program of SeedChange, and has a mission to create and support Canadian seed systems that promote food security and are resilient in the face of climate change.

SeedHeads Podcast

Produced by Bauta, the SeedHeads Podcast is a direct response to a reduced capacity for resource sharing as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic and is co-hosted by our very own Steph Benoit. This first series shares the stories and tips from Canadian seed heroes.
