Academic Seed Libraries
Questions to consider 🤔
- How will the seed library be tied into educational programs?
- What programs might be interested in participating in the seed library?
- Does your school have a student farm that could grow some of the seeds?
- What breeding or climate adaption projects might you develop?
- If the program is started by a group of students, how will this be structured to ensure that it survives past graduation?
