For example, in U.S. vegetable crops we now have less than seven percent of the diversity that existed just a century ago. We are confronted with the global pressures of feeding a growing population, in a time when staple crops face new threats from disease and changing climates. Crop diversity pioneer Cary Fowler travels the world, educating the public about the dire consequences of our inaction. Along with his team at The Global Crop Diversity Trust in Rome, Cary struggles to re-invent a global food system so that it can, in his words: “last forever.” Cary aims to safeguard the last place that much of our diversity is left in tact: in the world’s vulnerable gene banks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61042755c482225a0f5b43ae/1627686370130-Q6BC5SGRLI4LXXREHQKV/seedsoftime_still024.jpg Synopsis The Andes Mountains, our planet’s most diverse region for potatoes, is already seeing the crippling effects of climate change. Potato production has risen more than 500 feet in altitude over the last 30 years, leaving varieties at lower elevations unable to produce. With erratic weather patterns already eroding biodiversity, what is to be done when these farmers can no longer continue moving “up”? With a passion few possess, Cary set out to build the world’s first global seed vault – a seed collection on a scale larger than any other. The vault, located in Norway, is an unprecedented insurance policy for the crop diversity of the world. In an extraordinary gesture of support, the farmers of the Potato Park become the first indigenous community to send samples of their potato diversity to the vault for safekeeping. But as the stakes of maintaining a secure global food system continue to rise, adaptation will become a requisite for our own survival. How can we best maintain the diversity that still exists for our food crops? How do we create new diversity to adapt our fields to a changing climate? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61042755c482225a0f5b43ae/1627666559755-S96IUMEO2EJGJE4M64OH/seedsoftime_still010.jpg Synopsis -

In June 2011, she published "Gathering: Memoir of a Seed Saver", which tells the story of how SSE has grown from a small coterie of passionate gardeners to one of the most active and effective seed saving organizations in the world. https://www.seedsoftimemovie.com/john-torgrimson daily 0.75 2021-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61042755c482225a0f5b43ae/1630630521145-77VLVKND985XMMFY4XRM/People_JohnT.jpeg John Torgrimson - John Torgrimson Executive Director, Seeds Savers Exchange John Torgrimson has been the Executive Director of SSE since July 2010.

He was then appointed to work on genetic diversity issues in Bioversity International's Sub-Saharan Africa Group based in Nairobi, Kenya. Luigi then moved to the Bioversity Regional Office for the Americas in Cali, Colombia in 1997 which he coordinated Bioversity's global research agenda on measuring, locating and monitoring genetic diversity, with responsibility for the application of GIS, and also managed Biovesity's work on germplasm use in the region, including research on patterns of use of ex situ collections. He had responsibility for national and regional programme development in the Caribbean sub-region. From 2002 to 2006 he worked at the Secretariat of the Pacific Community in Fiji, where he co-ordinated and managed a regional PGR network for the Pacific Island countries and territories. He is author of some 30 refereed articles and more than 10 conference presentations, and has edited a number of books and proceedings.

During his nine years at the helm, seeds from more than 25,000 plant species were conserved in the MSB and, in 2009, the MSB achieved its first significant milestone, securing seed from 10% of the world’s plant species, prioritizing rare, threatened and useful plants. Since then, the MSB and its 170 partner institutions in 80 countries around the world have set themselves the target of conserving 25% of the world’s flora by 2020. The ultimate aim is to bank the seed of all plant species and to make that seed available for use in the landscape. During the last five years, Paul and his team have promoted the concept of seed banks as a resource for human innovation, adaptation and resilience, and, today, seeds from the MSB and its partner seed banks are being used in agriculture, horticulture, forestry and habitat restoration. Paul trained as a plant ecologist and is a specialist in the plants and vegetation of southern Africa. He is the author of two field guides to the flora of south-central Africa and the Vegetation Atlas of Madagascar. He is a Fellow of the Linnean Society and the Royal Geographical Society. https://www.seedsoftimemovie.com/john-bamberg daily 0.75 2021-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61042755c482225a0f5b43ae/1630630841955-ILLS6ZBZHKAUW432BAG0/People_JohnB.jpeg John Bamberg - John Bamberg Curator, U.S. Potato Seed Bank John Bamberg is Project Leader of the US Potato Genebank located on the UW Peninsular Agricultural Research Station near Sturgeon Bay. NRSP-6 is the US genebank for tuber-bearing Solanum species (potatoes) and is part of the USDA National Plant Germplasm System. It is supported by all SAES with off-the-top funds from USDA/CSREES, USDA/ARS and UW. The genebank’s mission is to facilitate the improvement of potato through acquisition, classification, preservation, distribution, and evaluation of wild and cultivated potato germplasm. The Project provides a ready source of Solanum germplasm for US and foreign potato breeders and scientists. It coordinates evaluation of stocks by specialists around the US, and technology, germplasm and research cooperation with other potato genebanks around the world. It also has a strong program of on-site evaluation and characterization associated with Solanum taxonomy, genetics, physiology, genebank technology and other disciplines through which the exploitation of the germplasm is facilitated. One of the emphases of Bamberg’s program has been collection and research on wild potatoes native to the southwest USA. All these physical and informational resources are cataloged and advertised. https://www.seedsoftimemovie.com/emily-triantaphyllis daily 0.75 2021-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61042755c482225a0f5b43ae/1631977534295-9TA2YDM5XCXMKYF84V0F/People_Emily%C2%A0Triantaphyllis1.2.jpg Emily Triantaphyllis - Emily Triantaphyllis Co-Producer Emily Triantaphyllis has over ten years of experience as a producer on various feature length and short documentary projects.
