Deepika and Bernard are active throughout India teaching traditional seed conservation and promoting exchange of traditional seeds and establishing seed banks among farmers. Their farm, the ‘Pebble Garden’ is seen as one of the best examples of soil reclamation utilizing organic arming techniques in the country.
