Great work. Just came here by youtube recommendation. I myself have thought Nepalese should work to rejuvenate our own local seed. Unless we stop using the seeds treated with various poisonous chemicals such as thiram, apron, maxim,etc we cannot say our products are organic at all as the prime material is inorganic itself. Sellers are selling what farmers produce, farmers produce what seeds are available in market. So farmers should be made available with our local seeds which are far better in several terms. I hope we urban terrace gardeners get those seeds too.
