In March 1999, “Peliti” organised the first Pan-Hellenic feast for the exchange of local varieties at Karpi, located in Kilkis prefecture. The 10th festival will take place for the first time on Peliti land, on April 10, 2010 in Mesohori, municipality of Paranesti, region of Drama, Greece. The celebration starts at 11am until 4pm. Throughout the day there will be various people speaking about local varieties of seeds & livestock. Farmers from Greece & other countries will exchange seeds & also donate seeds to new farmers to sample. The goals of this feast are: - To distribute traditional seed varieties to as many farmers as possible. - To create a network of farmers who will exchange seeds, information and experience concerning traditional varieties. - To provide seeds to farmers who did not have previous access to traditional varieties - To exchange everything freely, without the mediation of money. The 10th Pan-Hellenic Festival for the exchange of local seed varieties will take place for the first time on Peliti land, on April 10, 2010 in Mesohori, municipality of Paranesti, region of Drama, Greece.
