About Me
- Adam Forbes
- I just graduated from Pitzer College in Claremont, CA. I now begin my life as a wandering farmer and Seed Saver!! This blog is about my year around the world as a Watson Fellow. I was awarded Thomas J. Watson Fellowship for 2008-2009 to study Seed Saving and the Preservation of Genetic Diversity in India, Italy, Thailand, Ethiopia, Canada, Mexico, and Peru. The Watson Fellowship is an award that "provides 50 college seniors of unusual promise funding for a year of research, independent exploration, and travel outside the United States."

Ciao Charris, I'm Francesca, I am italian and pretty new on the seeds and agricultural stuff.
So, here are the only things I can tell you:
http://www.archeologiaarborea.org/inglese.html (the only site translated in english)
also, "Civiltà Contadina": http://www.biodiversita.info/modules/civiltacontadina/index.php?id=29
and then this: http://amicidellorto.splinder.com/
I can help with translations, in case you need help. (I have been emailing with someone from "amici dell'orto" and they're nice).
this is my personal email: francescaaah@gmail.com
:-)
cheers!
