Open Source principles applied to biotech is a way we can today fight against the capture of oligarchical seed companies of the very foods we all need to live. Check out here to see what organizations in your area are part of the Global Coalition of Open Source Seed Initiatives (GOSSI).

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.

Also Amybo.org are doing open source protein fermentation.

That's awesome! I will be keeping them saved in my bookmarks too!

Yeah definitely a project worth keeping an eye on, and I think they're always looking for volunteers and collaborators
