SEEDS & SUSTAINABILITY

Plant Today, Protect Tomorrow

Our Mission

To cultivate a culture of seed conservation and natural regeneration by encouraging children and youth to actively plant seeds from the daily fruits they consume in schools and communities.

Program Overview

This initiative promotes the simple principle of “What you eat, you plant.” Students and community members collect seeds from everyday fruits such as mango, guava, papaya, and tamarind, and plant them in school gardens, open spaces, and nearby surroundings to support greening and biodiversity.

Key Features

• Collection and planting of locally available fruit seeds
• Creation of small seed banks in schools and communities
• Hands-on environmental learning for children and youth
• Promotion of tree plantation and natural regeneration
• Integration of nature-based values into daily life

How to Get Started

• Organize programs like “Seed Sundays” or “One Fruit = One Tree”
• Set up a simple seed collection and storage system in schools
• Identify suitable planting areas within campuses or neighborhoods
• Involve teachers, eco-clubs, and local volunteers for guidance
• Monitor sapling growth and maintain planted areas regularly

Educational Value
