On Friday, October 25th, we carried out a transplant day at the Cooperative of Agroecological Production (COPA) in Guernica, Buenos Aires province. There, together with Minka, we evaluated the behavior of one of the heirloom tomato varieties rescued by FAUBA. 

Which is the regulatory framework for seeds in Argentina? And in the world? What intellectual property instruments exist? How do they affect the Argentine seed system? What problems does it have? How is a crop registered in Argentina? And a creole seed?

In collaboration with the Sustainability and Environment Department of the National University of San Martín (SEyV), we launched the project “Living Laboratory: cultivating, experimenting, and learning at UNSAM.” This initiative aims to create a space for experimentation and learning about the evaluation of important food crops, bringing the participatory evaluation experiences that Bioleft has been developing to the university campus.
