organic_permaculture_seed_bank_1He has a very successful organic farm, among many other things he goes around villages distributing seeds for free in order to introduce diversity and organic practices for the people not to forget the abundance nature has provided us with, to make sure those seeds will be planted he asks for the same amount of seeds to be returned next year.
