Seed as Idea
Seed as Idea: a seed library (with Amaranth seeds from the Mesoamerican
Permaculture Institute), developed by Aeron Bergman, Alejandra Salinas
and Margaret Keller, available at KNOW/HOW books + print.
Join us for our virtual programmed event, a talk with the artists and
IMAP - Instituto Mesoamericano de Permacultura - on Zoom, January 23rd
at 1:30 pm CST.
The Mesoamerican Permaculture Institute (Instituto Mesoamericano de
Permacultura – IMAP) is a non-profit organization based in Guatemala. It
was founded in 2000 by a group of local people concerned by the serious
environmental, social and cultural problems affecting the nation. They
established an ecological education center to promote permaculture
techniques, local biodiversity conservation, production of organic food,
and a seed preservation that strives to reconstruct the Mayan seed
heritage. This seed preservation project includes the Amaranth
Initiative to enhance food sovereignty in Guatemala by promoting the
sustainable cultivation, processing, consumption, and commercialization
of amaranth.
