Teff and Wehabit Grains - Ethiopia

How one of the world’s richest centers of biodiversity responds to the climate crisis. Seeds for Needs, an ambitious project created with joint support from Ethiopian farmers and researchers at Bioversity International, Mekelle University, and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna of Pisa, began looking into Ethiopia’s past to rediscover ancient grains that might provide solutions to the country’s extreme vulnerability to drought, and to fight climate change by using seeds to increase the resilience of rural communities.
