The Seed Savers' Network (SSN) is an Australian not-for-profit organisation, based in Byron Bay, New South Wales.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.charity-charities.org/Australia-charities/ByronBay-NSW.html )〕 Since 1986, SSN has organised gardeners and farmers to collect, multiply and redistribute garden seeds in Australia and also within peasant organisations worldwide.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://seedsavers.net/shop/home/about-seed-savers/aims/ )〕 SSN operates on the premise that seeds are best kept in their socio-cultural context. It promotes conservation and development of agricultural biodiversity in situ, that is, on-site with growers, rather than in seed banks. The organisation educates the public on the importance of locally saved seeds, their heritage and associated cultural diversity. It has produced three books and two documentaries. ==History== SSN was founded in 1986 by Michel and Jude Fanton. It is registered as the Seed Savers Foundation Ltd, a charitable organisation. Commencing in the year 2000 and completed in 2008, SSN decentralised its seed collection, multiplication and distribution of seeds to over 100 affiliated Local Seed Networks (LSNs) around Australia. Gardeners exchange excess seeds and garden produce at LSN events. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Seed Savers' Network」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
