The Seedsaver's Network <www.seedsavers.net> is just what I was sketchingly thinking about. Aussies are way ahead of me and are working already in some of the countries I was concerned about! I need to think about this some more and find out whether any US seedsaver groups are doing this kind of work. I think Oregon Tilth is working on seed saving. Most of our varieties wouldn't be appropriate for the South. Are there more seedsaver networks such as this in other countries? What other developing countries have such opportunities? Can someone else give me more URLs.
