Guiding focus group discussions on varietal diversification and adaptation to climate change in East Africa
The Seeds for Needs initiative works with farmers to research how agricultural biodiversity can help minimize the risks associated with climate change. At the same time Seeds for Needs is helping farming communities cope with the effects of climate change by providing access to locally adapted se...

A novel strategy to discover and use climate-adapted germplasm
Crop adaptation to climate change requires accelerated crop variety introduction accompanied by recommendations to help
farmers match the best variety with their field contexts. Existing approaches to generate these recommendations lack scalability and predictivity in marginal production environm...

Seeds for Needs: crop diversity for resilience
Rapid climatic and socio-economic changes challenge current agricultural R&D capacity. The necessary quantum leap in knowledge generation should build on the innovation capacity of farmers themselves. A novel citizen science methodology, triadic comparisons of technologies or tricot, was implemen...
