Peter Brinch
Passionate About Seeds
Peter completed his formal studies on Biodynamic Agriculture in Jarna, Sweden, in 1984. Ever since then he has been working with and on the land in one way or another.
From 2001 till 2006 he worked for the Biodynamic Association as Seed Development Fieldsman when he traveled from farm to farm, working with and assisting farmers to save their seeds.
Together with Pupak Haghighi, he established the Open Pollinated Seeds Initiative in 2010 in England to raise awareness and promote the practise of using and investing in the open pollinated seeds throughout the world.
He offers talks and workshops, writes articles, contributes to seed-related conferences and campaigns, grows OP seeds, organises Seed Swap events, does these and more besides, to bring our attention to the simple and profound fact that we have lost OP seeds, our global communal bank of biodiversity, at an alarming rate over the last few decades. He encourages farmers, vegetable growers, allotment holders, indeed anyone concerned with food growing and eating to use open pollinated seeds, to make a way for a resounding come back of biodiversity to our plates and palates, and indeed to our planet.
