The Seeds of Andhra Pradesh

This documentary by the Iowa State University Seed Science Center highlights the seeds of Andhra Pradesh, which is a uniquely diverse region for cultivated crops. While many parts of the world specialize in just a handful of crops, Andhra Pradesh is home to over 200 different varieties. Farmers are the lifeblood of this region. A good crop starts with good seed, which increases yield and decreases use of pesticides. That is why the government has made access to quality seed a top priority.
