What will we be eating 10 years from now? This question arose when the artist Nikhil Vettukattil visited the Nicklasson family in Sigsarve, active farmers in the Gutekorn association. Gutekorn works to preserve and cultivate older cereals, which are often more nutritious and resilient than the varieties currently used in industrial agriculture. Ultimately, the question is how the climate on Gotland will change in the not too distant future. Is Gutekorn's own seed bank part of the answer to the question of future food?

To raise the question of the importance of seed banks in a time of climate change and other geopolitical crises, we will show Jumana Manna's film Wild Relatives (64 mins). The film is based on an event that attracted international attention in 2012, when one of Syria's research centres received help from the International Seed Bank in Svalbard to replace the plants they had been forced to abandon while fleeing civil war. After the film, Nikhil Vettukattil and members of Gutekorn will join other experts to discuss what we will be eating in 10 years' time.
