ANATOHUM Project was born at a time when I was convinced that Turkey’s seed legislation of 2006 was greatly hurting the seed diversity of the country, by restricting the propagation of these seeds in many various ways. National and international hybrid seed industry have been taking the advantage of the law to push old varieties away from commercial seed catalogs. Regulations require farmers to grow only government-certified seeds for farmers’ markets and grocery stores. Seed market is heavily dependent on hybrid seeds, and often times imported hybrid seeds.
