Programme

Intermediae

A way of questioning the management models we create or take part in, both in culture and in life. Its mission is not conservation but the exchange of seeds themselves—and with them, the knowledge accumulated around them. To recover, produce, and share seeds adapted to local growing conditions. The Seed Exchange Bank and the activities carried out through it are open to anyone who works with seeds or wishes to do so, whether directly or as a metaphor for the need for transformation in our society.

The Seed Exchange Bank is also conceived as an initiative for food sovereignty and a critical review of the exploitation of proprietary seeds: genetically modified to deliver higher yields in any climate or situation, designed to produce grain for only one season, patented, and whose rights are held by the corporations that created them. Since 2007, Intermediae has been working in the fields of permaculture, ecology, and sustainability. It organizes regular activities in the Avant Garden urban garden, located at the entrance to Matadero, along with a series of other initiatives around ecological activism and participation, such as The Green Fingers Club, Urban Fruit Action, and Seed-Planting.

In 2025, the exchange days will be coordinated by the Ecosecha Association.
