Our Founder
My name is Jason Cook, and my story begins far from corporate boardrooms or modern farms. I grew up in the deep rainforest of Darién, Panama—a place where the jungle teaches you how to survive, how to observe, and how to respect the rhythm of creation. As a child, my Agriculture school was the land itself. I watched how plants responded to sunlight, how the rain brought life, and how nature always seemed to provide more when treated with care instead of extraction. Those early years shaped everything that would come later.
A Calling Shaped by Experience
As I grew older, I began to witness a painful truth: despite the richness of the land, people were still hungry. Communities were still struggling. Traditional aid programs were pouring money into food imports, but nothing was changing. The jungle had taught me abundance, yet the world was operating from scarcity.
For years I traveled between Panama and the United States, building businesses, learning agriculture, and working alongside farmers, tribal leaders, nonprofit groups, and innovators. Everywhere I went, I saw the same problem repeating: the food system was broken not because people were lazy or incapable, but because the system itself was built on dependency instead of empowerment. I felt a calling to change that.
A Breakthrough: The Bio-Advantage
Over the course of more than a decade, through experiments, trials, setbacks, and breakthroughs, I developed what is now known as Bio-Advantage a plant-based bio-stimulant designed to increase yields, strengthen crops, and lower production costs. The goal wasn’t to create a product for profit. The goal was to create a tool.
A tool that could help small farmers grow more with less.
A tool that could help villages feed themselves.
A tool that could break the cycle of dependency.
The discovery changed everything.
The Birth of The Greedless Seed
As the vision grew, so did the mission. In 2020, I founded The Greedless Seed an initiative built on one simple but powerful idea:
Food should free people, not control them.
The Greedless Seed is not a typical agricultural company. It is a values driven movement rooted in regenerative farming, higher-yield production, community reinvestment, and God-centered stewardship. Our work spans from small rural communities to large-scale operations in Panama., always with the same purpose: to create sustainable, self-replicating food systems that lift people up instead of holding them down.
Walking Out the Mission
My wife and I now split our time between the U.S. and Panama, building the teams, farms, tools, and partnerships needed to transform food systems in a way that lasts for generations. We focus on three pillars:
- Food Security – teaching communities how to grow their own food.
- Economic Empowerment helping farmers become profitable without exploitation.
- Faith in Action – believing that when you remove greed from the seed, God multiplies the harvest.
Everything we do, every field test, every training program, every acre we will plant is part of a larger calling: to help people live healthier, freer, more dignified lives through the power of agriculture.
Why My Story Matters
This isn’t just my journey.
This is a movement.
A shift in how we think about farming, food security, and global development.
From a boy in the jungle learning from the land, to a man building a new agricultural model, my purpose has stayed the same:
Grow food.
Grow people.
Grow futures-Without greed.
