WE ARE SEED

SEED incorporated as a public benefit corporation, and then became a Certified B Corporation, to confirm a commitment to sustainability goals and agriculture technologies that support food security. Team SEED benefits from a diversity that lets us understand communities we serve. We are curious and passionate about food systems, our cultural foodways and working with end-users on agriculture practices that conserve ecosystems, rights and resources.
