Resilient seed systems for climate-change adaptation and sustainable livelihoods in the East Africa sub-regionn: Report of training workshop, Addis Ababa Ethiopia, 17-21 September 2019.

Especially in developing countries, farmers face unprecedented climate-change challenges, where their current seed systems do not adequately serve their needs. Despite millennia-long processes of farmer- sections, relatively few locally-adapted varieties or cultivars are available to farmers. Bioversity International is implementing a Dutch-supported project entitled: Resilient seed systems for climate change adaptation and sustainable livelihoods in the East Africa sub-region. This work aims to boost timely and affordable access to good-quality seed for a portfolio of crops / varieties for millions of women and men farmers’ and their communities across East Africa. It will do this through combining and scaling successful strategies, methods and tools that build resilient seed systems. The training featured in this report is an early step in the project scaling work.
