Hello to Everyone!!
This is blog that I have created to serve the members of the seed bank committee and anyone else that may be interested. I hope that this functions well and everyone is able to use it as a resource. If you wish to be able to post directly onto the blog you can do so by signing up with a google blogger account and I will invite you to be an author. In order to do this I will need your email, please send it to: seedbankpcpy@gmail.com.
On the side of the blog there is a list of links, one of the links is to my personal blog following specifically my ag work during my service. If anyone else has useful websites or a blog that they would like to share please send the link to the email address already listed.
Best,
Nathan

What is the Peace Corps Paraguay Seed Bank?
The objectives of the Seed Bank are:
1. To provide Paraguayans access to non-hybrid seeds (of green manures, trees, garden & field crops, etc.) that they cannot otherwise afford or find locally;
2. To promote sustainability through seed-saving;
3. To operate sustainably by making loans of seed (at 10% interest rate) through Peace Corps Volunteers; and
4. To ultimately help seed other local and regional seed banks throughout Paraguay.
