Vanastree.org is a women-run seed saving collective
and agroecology training location in the Malnad region of the Western
Ghats in Southern India. They are dedicated to promoting forest garden
biodiversity and small scale food systems through the conservation of
traditional seeds and tubers. Vanastree means women of the forest and
the agrarian communities in their area are part of an age-old way of
life where the wilderness, spice orchards, paddies and homesteads are
closely intertwined. The role of women farmers and gardeners is seen as
integral to the social, cultural and ecological fabric of the unique
Malnad region. The women promote small scale farming as vital to food
security and positive social change.
