Las Semillas

In 2024, Wildseeds Fund entered into a groundbreaking collaboration with SENTIENT, a vegan fashion house based in Mexico City. The Semilla Collection was born out of a partnership with The Wildseeds Fund to support regenerative agriculture—strengthening soil, preserving biodiversity, and empowering farming communities who are at the heart of sustainability and climate resilience. Listen to Wildseeds Executive Director and SENTIENT founder/owner discuss their partnership.
