Grow For It! Expert Applauds the New Palestine Heirloom Seed Library
Carson City, NV, June 07, 2016 --(PR.com)-- A recently published article from The Guardian reveals that an initiative is currently being formed in order to salvage the agricultural plant heritage in Palestine. This community project will be called the Palestine Heirloom Seed Library, which aims to preserve heirloom varieties that have been used by farmers for several centuries.
The Palestine Heirloom Seed Library is scheduled for launching sometime in June and will work together with an established seed bank. This joint effort was made to help improve the income of small-scale Palestinian farmers and to ensure that the seed samples are saved and documented properly.
Seed experts from around the world have praised this new project especially since several heirloom seed varieties are now on the verge of extinction. It is even estimated that the world's fruit and vegetable seed supply could vanish within eighty years.
"We need to do everything we can to preserve our heirloom seed varieties. They have been passed down to us for generations and within each seed lies not just our different cultural identities, but also our future. The disappearance of our heirloom seeds will prove detrimental to the human race," a seed expert from Grow For It warned.
"Seed preservation is not just about securing our agricultural food supply; it is actually more about protecting one's heritage and making sure that it lives on. I truly applaud the Palestine Heirloom Seed Library for doing such an important cause. I hope that the project succeeds in its mission, and that more awareness about seed saving will be available especially to the younger generation," he continued.
For the Grow For It expert, seed preservation is something that everyone can and should participate in.
"You don't have to do something grand to help. Even the simple act of growing your own vegetables and saving the seeds from your harvests can make a difference. This is a collective effort after all, and every bit of help counts," he concluded.
