Celebrating Progress and

Looking Forward to the Future

Messages from our Founder and CEO and Philippines Executive Director

We are grateful for our community of supporters like YOU!

Thank you for investing in our partner farmers and for saving seeds, growing food, and celebrating heritage with us. Our Founder and CEO Sherry Manning, and our Philippines Executive Director, Hal Atienza have a year end message for you.

"Our mission has never been more essential as the impacts of climate realities continue to threaten our partner communities. Seeds are a simple, but powerful tool to build community, preserve culture, and ensure that all communities can feed their families and sustain their livelihoods with regenerative practices.

There is so much to look forward to for GSS and we are grateful to have you in our community! 

From all of us at Global Seed Savers we wish you and yours restful and peaceful year end festivities and here's to all 2024 will bring!"

"It brings me great pride and pleasure to reflect on our remarkable journey as we close the year 2023. I joined the Global Seed Savers in April of this year, and I am honored to share some of the key milestones we have made as a collective force for positive change.

The challenges ahead may be many, but our spirit is indomitable. Together, we will continue to be champions of seed sovereignty, regenerative agriculture, and community empowerment. The seeds we sow today are the harvests of a resilient and flourishing future for the next generation."
