Symbiotic Seeds
SEED, Lycée Technicque Agricole (LTA) Luxembourg and Let’s Liberate Diversity! invites to participate in the 14th edition of the LLD Forum to come together, exchange and learn about cultivated diversity and dynamic seed management! From 4 to 6 September 2025
During the Diversity Market, I will offer an open workshop called “Symbiotic Seeds”: I am happy to share my favorite scientific facts and artistic research around biodiversity. Also, I will bring stories about seeds and am curious to engage in conversations to discuss for example if seeds are living beings or resources.
The European Coordination Let’s Liberate Diversity! (ECLLD) is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to the dynamic management of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture.
ECLLD‘s core belief is that the diversification food systems can be achieved through the collaborative efforts of various stakeholders involved in cultivated biodiversity. In collaboration with approximately 15,000 farmers, the members actively engage in the conservation and management of around 40,000 plant varieties.

Between Us and Nature – A Reading Club #54
I can lose my hands, and still live. I can lose my legs and still live. I can lose my eyes and still live. I can lose my hair, eyebrows, nose, arms, and many other things and still live. But if I lose the air I die. If I lose the sun I die. If I lose the earth I die. If I lose the water I die. If I lose the plants and animals I die. All of these things are more a part of me, more essential to my every breath, than is my so-called body. What is my real body? (Jack D. Forbes)
