Our Vision
is to work so that Puerto Rico has the tools to achieve its food sovereignty. It is our commitment to keep alive and sustainably develop the native seeds of the tropics and the knowledge of being ecological farmers.
Seeds and Their Importance
Throughout Puerto Rican history and for many generations, the jibarito kept their seeds year after year, adapting these seeds to be resilient to the strong climates of our land, and by peasant tradition, they passed them down with the land to the next generations. Due to the social and economic changes in Puerto Rico, the heirs abandoned the fields, and many seeds adapted to our climate have been lost. Fortunately, some varieties that are easier to propagate and maintain have been located, propagated, and continue to be adapted, and now we make them available so that seeds are never lost in Puerto Rico again. If you who read this have seeds of Puerto Rican heritage and want to share them with us, they are welcome. We and the future generations of our land will be grateful to you.
