"Community Seed Bank Options is a practical, comprehensive guide to the hands-on management of community seed banks. It features illustrative examples and proven methods to walk readers through each step while clearly explaining the science and biology behind seed saving. This book is an essential resource for anyone immersed in food sovereignty, seed stewardship or community-led development. Congratulations to the ECHO team for delivering such a valuable and accessible toolkit."

Ellie Lovett, Director of Project Morro

Community Seed Bank Options is the compilation of many individual research experiments, papers, ideas, technologies, and experiences offered over several years by individuals working to further best practices in community seed banking, seed saving, and genetic preservation.

While ECHO has collected and validated these best practices over many years, ECHO does not take credit for each individual innovation, as many come from network members (maybe even you!). The book features images and graphics that explain, illustrate, and simplify much of the information.
