The SeedBroadcast agri-culture Journal is now out and about at various locations such as food coops, cafes, farmers markets and available on line here where you can also access previous editions.
This special edition SEED: Climate Change Resilience has been curated in conjunction with the SEED: Climate Change Resilience, a community engaged arts project exploring seed, arid-land agri-Culture, resiliency, and climate change. Created by SeedBroadcast, a New Mexico based arts and agri-Culture collective, in collaboration with numerous New Mexico farmers and seed stewards, this project features an interactive public exhibition to inspire and activate dialogue around seed, global warming, local food, healthy communities, and the revitalization of bioregional agri-Cultural practices.
