The 19th edition of the SeedBroadcast agri Cultural Journal has been published as the spring winds arrive and the seeds are being blessed and placed in the earth. It has been a rugged year dealing with the fluctuations of the climate crisis and the divisions that seem to be getting wider between us human beings and our mother earth. However the resurgence of local traditional farming, gardening and food sovereignty is a glint of beauty and hope in these times of dramatic change. This issue is dedicated with deep bow of gratitude to all the peoples of the world who are facing the rapid changes to their homelands, with the ongoing fires, floods, hurricanes and erratic weather patterns that are threatening their survival and the survival of their seeds, lands, plants and animals.
"And to imagine other forms of human existence is exactly the challenge that is posed by the climate crisis: for if there is one thing that global warming has made perfectly clear it is that to think about the world only as it is amounts to a formula for collective suicide. We need, rather, to envision what it might be.”
Amitav Ghosh, The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable
