Description

Jemma Ostenfeld collects and germinates seeds on a patch of borrowed land in the eastern Bay of Plenty. She is helping to preserve the genetic memory of plants - each seed a story of survival, adaptation, and resilience. She champions the idea of seed libraries across Aotearoa as a key to future food security in an uncertain climate.
