Default Seed saving

This chap is a farmer in Central Brazil, near Brasília, and is trying
to recover the plant diversity that is being destroyed by the soy beans
monoculture for export. He intends to create a Latin American seed bank
and would very much appreciate seed donations. If you find yourself
with too many seeds, send him a lil' packet and see what happens.

Goiás, BRAZIL.

But how does a donation of commercial or antipodean seed help preserve
Latin American diversity?
