Bank of Seed Exchange is an initiative aimed by Ecosecha towards decentralization of seed control and a way of questioning the management models we generate or that we are part of. Seed Exchange Bank and activities that will take place throughout the year  are proposed like a metaphor of a need for transformation in society.

First Thursday of each month, Intermediæ organizes a meeting between seed producers, gardening amateurs, and anyone interested on joining a social network around ecological and sustainable values. At this meetings, held at Intermediæ’s Terrario, participants may exchange their knowledge about seed  production and the ways to boost organic farming in Madrid.
Coinciding with this day of seed exchange, Colombian architect AntonioYemail will raise a review of Acciones de Cosecha, actions that take the promotion of diversity as the main creative commitment. Diversity understood as an extended parameter that defines the variety of a system: ecological, material or sociopolitical. This actions have been carried out since 2007 between Bogota and Medellin.
