Is this organization working with biotech seeds? I didn’t see any information on that.

I guess I consider breeding and such as part of the biotech field. Though open source biotech, I also look at groups like The Thought Emporium and Open Source Ecology for open source in the biotech and agriculture fields.

Oh wow, I've seen the thought emporium on youtube and it just seemed like they were doing black magic, but I guess that's just what biotech looks like to the uninitiated. I didn't know they were active in open source biotech initiatives.
