A 20m2 rectangular building out of bamboo, palm wood and loam stands on a base of six granite columns. The spaces are conceived for the processing, preparation and preservation of the seeds which are deployed and gained from the land.

The project is finished by inhabitants and volunteers from the Sristi Village.
