   I'm supporting @opensourceseeds in their crowdfunding campaign to develop an #OpenSource rye variety.

   Why do we need open source seeds?

   Over the last few decades seed variety has decreased dramatically due to commercial pressure and most are owned by only a handful of companies.

   In many countries (including the EU) small farmers are unable to sell or even pass on heritage seeds without obtaining prohibitively expensive paperwork.
