[Scpg] On the Subject of Seeds/Ted Talk/Cary Fowler: One seed at a time protecting the future of food

[Margie Bushman, Santa Barbara Permaculture Network]

After recent community seed swap in Santa Barbara, and talk by Bill 
McDorman of Native Seed/SEARCH, & proposal of Seed Library in Santa 
Barbara (yeah!), this is a great Ted Talk to watch:

The varieties of wheat, corn and rice we grow today may not thrive in 
a future threatened by climate change. Cary Fowler takes us inside a 
vast global seed bank, buried within a frozen mountain in Norway, 
that stores a diverse group of food-crop for whatever tomorrow may bring.
