First Olympic Seed Festival and 17th Peliti Seed Festival


First Olympic Seed Festival and 17th Peliti Seed Festival, April 20-22, 2017

The institution of Olympic Seed Festivals was proposed by Peliti (www.peliti.gr) during the Global Citizens’ Assembly which took place between 14-16 October 2016 in the Hague. The Global Citizens’ Assembly was organized by Navdanya (http://navdanya.org), along with multiple citizens’ movements and organisations.

By means of the Olympic Seed Festivals we transfer the Global Citizens’ Assembly to various parts of the world. We also transfer a message about the growth of the seeds of a new culture based on love and co-operation for the earth and the seed, for the air, a culture that does not separate the natural environment from human beings. We specifically refer to the seeds of traditional varieties, varieties saved by farmers for many thousands of years.

The concept of the Olympic Seed Festival

Το Olympic Seed Festival is a celebration of the growth of the seed, of co-operation with the earth, water, seeds and other human beings.

Truce with Nature: We were inspired by the ancient Olympic Games. In antiquity wars were stopped during the games and a truce prevailed. We accordingly propose a truce with nature. We invite you to co-operate with nature, to stop spraying poisons, to stop polluting the air the water and the soil. We propose that for a month you find ways to co-operate with the other forms of life.

We focus our attention on the positive actions that take place on the planet, on the positive actions that we can implement. With our thoughts and our actions we strengthen the positive aspects.

We share the responsibility for what is taking place on the planet as workers for co-operation and love.
