Looking back and ahead & looking for money and housing

Dear Friends,
The New year is near. At ASEED we look back at a hectic but fulfilling 2012 and at the same time ahead into 2013: action, activities and spreading information on seeds, food sovereignty, access to urban agriculture land, and anti-GMO campaigning took place. Also the coming year ASEED will continue working on these topics. But we would like to share some highlights or our work and invite you to join.

All this getting us brooding on exciting anti GM campaign plans for 2013…
