Seed is the first link in the food and fiber chain. And the chain is only as strong as its weakest link. The Clif Bar Family Foundation created Seed Matters to improve the viability and availability of organic seed to ensure healthy, nutritious and productive crops. Together with our partners and folks just like you, we’re making a noticeable difference – from seed to farm to table.
Simply put, our three main goals are:
- Conserve crop genetic diversity
- Promote farmers’ roles and rights as seed innovators and stewards
- Reinvigorate public seed research and education
Across the country, people are reclaiming seed as a public resource for local food and gardening communities. We encourage you to start your own seed project, and keep the momentum growing.
Seed Matters has partnered with Seed Savers Exchange to improve our Community Seed Resources programs. Free educational resource guides are available and you can apply for your own Seed Toolkit. You can also apply for a mentorship and get assistance for your community seed project from an experienced seed saver. For more information visit Seed Saver Exchange.
