Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Native seeds/search conserves and shares the seeds of the people of the desert southwest and mexico so that these arid-adapted crops may benefit communities and nourish a changing world.

Native seeds/search (ns/s) works to achieve universal and sustainable food security in the southwestern united states and northwestern mexico by strengthening the foundations of local food systems through the conservation and distribution of regionally adapted crop diversity. The mission of ns/s grew out of the recognition that this region was home to an incredible but threatened agricultural legacy that developed over millennia through the unique interplay of its people, plants and environments. Over the past thirty years, ns/s has worked to collect and conserve the southwest's unique crop diversity, to document and research its properties, to make it accessible to farmers and gardeners in native and non-native communities alike, to promote its continued contribution to the region's food systems and to the health and nutrition of the region's residents, and to educate individuals on the importance and practice of preserving and using agricultural diversity.
