In todays episode of Propaganda By The Seed we chat with Joseph Lofthouse about the Cooperative Gardens Commission (formerly Coronavirus Victory Gardens Commission). We talk about how to get involved with the Cooperative Gardens Commission and what they’re doing to link experienced farmers, up with new growers and people with access to land to build up local food production. Joseph is also a plant breeder who creates one-of-a-kind seeds he sells through the Experimental Farming Network. We talk about his approach to creating landrace crops and the importance of saving seeds.
