Lessons in theory of change: CCAFS Southeast Asia Research for Development Workshop
A community seed bank is a locally governed and managed, mostly informal institution whose core function is to maintain seeds for local use, strengthen local seed systems and support on-farm agrobiodiversity conservation. The objective of this study was to explore, from a farmer’s perspective, if...

Women play an increasingly greater role in agriculture. Ensuring that they have opportunities—equal to those of men—to participate in transforming agriculture is a prerequisite for sustainable intensification. Increased gender equity in agriculture is both a practical and a social justice issue: ...
