How can I find other seed savers, the closest seed library for local seed exchange, seed banks - how can I find out who else is growing the same variety ? You can find some critical maps and networks here.
Networks and especially mapping are key: There exist many mapping projects, most of them are in their early stages and need you to contribute ! Ideally all maps where united in different layers of one open sourced global map that gives us overview over the growing movement and helps us to connect.
Such a map should be developed by the movement itself, so for a start, you find a basic collection. Please tell us about more maps and networks you know about in the comments !
Global:
Growstuff ( A growing platform for connecting us plant by plant, that is currently going open source; It fosters seed saving, but you can not search for single varieties, yet. ) Visit the Community Map
Seed Freedom Map
Global Actions #Seed Saving, Food Heroes & Global Alliance for Seed Freedom around Vananda Shiva's important call for global co-action.
Open Source Seed Initiative
A great initiative that works put the rights to specific varieties back into the possession of the commons, "one seed at a time": Everyone is free to decide how to use these varieties, be it selling or sharing. It was a great initiative from the start, some unclear aspects as to the chosen "copy free" where the reason for not putting up the link here yet, but have a look at the map and join in !
