Global agriculture has changed more in the past 50 years than in the previous 10,000. Nowhere is this conflict more poignant than in the story of seed.

This is the trailer for the film Seeds of Freedom, to be launched in early 2012. The film explores the history of the corporate takeover of seed, and the impact that this is having on communities across the world. The loss of indigenous seed goes hand in hand with the loss of biodiversity, the loss of cultural traditions and practices, the loss of livelihoods and the loss of independence in agriculture.

Please share this trailer far and wide.

This film is co-produced by the African Biodiversity Network africanbiodiversity.org and The Gaia Foundation gaiafoundation.org

    This looks genius and just the film I've been waiting for. I am so excited by this film. Where will it be shown?
  •  
  • Thanks Stellabelle, fantastic that you're so enthused by this film! We're very excited as we work on the full version as this is such a vital message, and perhaps the perspective missing from great films like Food Inc. We'll be launching in February with a couple of London screenings, and the Amsterdam Food Film Festival will be showing it. Hopefully it will be available free online so we'll let you all know! Thanks again for the support.
