The EU-funded organic seed and cultivar project LIVESEED has released two videos in which farmers from across Europe explain why they use organic seed, and what their personal motivations are.
The aim of the videos is to motivate more farmers to use organic seed and show to other stakeholders how important it is that organic seed is available for organic farmers.
100% organic means full credibility and trust, and starts with the seeds organic farmers use, says LIVESEED. Organic seeds, adapted and acclimatised to the soil and environment and resistant to pests and diseases, are the basis of organic production, reducing the level of inputs and risk of residues while increasing production and quality at lower costs, creating a closed system, and maintaining biodiversity.
