Das Genbänkle: Promoting heirloom crop varieties in Baden-Württemberg

Das Genbänkle is a network focused on preserving and promoting the diversity of heirloom crop varieties in Baden-Württemberg. It offers a Digital Seed Marketplace with rare and historical seeds, a special “Wachsende Begeisterung” seed set featuring traditional vegetable varieties, and the chance to join their “Sortendetektive” campaign, which encourages individuals to rediscover and share forgotten vegetable varieties and their stories. Through events, a blog, and a newsletter, the platform connects gardeners, farmers, and enthusiasts passionate about safeguarding biodiversity and cultural heritage.
