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...

Seeds for Needs - East Africa: Helping farming communities cope with the effects of climate change by providing access to locally adapted seeds
This paper reviews and discusses how studies on (i) on-farm diversity assessment, (ii) access to diversity and information, (iii) extent of use of available materials and information, and (iv) benefits obtained by the farmer or farming community from their use of local crop diversity, are necessa...

Resilient seed systems for climate change adaptation and sustainable livelihoods in the East Africa sub-region: Report of training workshop, Addis Ababa Ethiopia, 17-21 September 2019
This chapter will review the evidence that shows that farmers’ access to seeds has an impact on the sustainability of food production and consumption. Diverse seeds are needed to support the diversification of agriculture, which in turn may contribute to more diverse diets, and to using species a...
