Kokopelli Seed Foundation was recently created in December 2003 by Dominique Guillet to sow in the heart of the people of North America the seed-message of Association Kokopelli in Europe: access to open-pollinated seeds is the only way to alleviate hunger and to promote, in a sustainable way, food security.



Seeds are the very beginning of the food chain. Seed autonomy is one of the fundamental pre-requisites of food security. The development of home-gardening and of small organic sustainable agriculture is the ultimate fortress against malnutrition and erosion of biodiversity. We are helping the small farmers and the rural communities to regain control of their own seed through the creation of seed gardens, of community seed banks and of small networks.



To promote charitable donations of organic, heirloom seeds and to promote seed-saving education to fight hunger in Third World poor countries.

To help rural communities in Third World countries to create community seed banks, seed savers networks and organic seed production groups.

To promote in the USA, and elsewhere in the world, the creation of a network of voluntary organic gardeners devoted to the production of heritage seeds for charitable donation.

To promote partnership with seed-savers networks, NGOs and international foundations involved in the increasing of food production, in the improving of nutrition and in the pursuit of food security while managing the natural resources.

To promote educational and research programs in organic seed production, managing of genetic resources, reforestation, bee-keeping and organic sustainable gardening through workshops, publication of newsletters and books, and our web site.

To promote seed consciousness: sharing of seeds and of seed saving traditions.
