Speaker 2025

Patrick & Randa - Sow Diverse

Sow Diverse is an independent, Irish-based seed company committed to promoting biodiversity, food sovereignty, and seed freedom through the production and distribution of open-pollinated, heirloom, and rare seed varieties. Founded with a vision to empower gardeners and growers, Sow Diverse offers culturally significant, ecologically resilient seeds that are well adapted to Irish and European climates. Operating at the intersection of sustainable agriculture, cultural heritage, and environmental activism, the company plays a key role in resisting corporate control of seeds, reviving traditional plant varieties, and supporting community-based seed saving. Sow Diverse serves a wide range of growers – from backyard gardeners and urban farms to educators and community gardens – and works to rebuild lost seed diversity in the face of industrial agriculture and climate change.
