SEED BOUTIQUE

We have always been biohackers. For 10,000 years creative individuals and groups have bred plants, selecting for desired traits and passing this information on through saved seeds. Although methods for saving and sharing seeds are quite straightforward, most commercial farmers today don’t save seeds because of legal restrictions, inconvenience, or the preference for hybrid varieties which don’t breed true and must be purchased each year. Plant breeding and selling seeds has been highly consolidated in the last twenty years, with three large companies controlling over half the world market share in seed sales. The seed boutique features ten plant seeds that each tell a story about current seed issues. Put a coin in the vending machine and help maintain the work of biohackers past.
