Description

The seed security of small-scale rural households is often put at risk by natural and human-caused disasters.

As a consequence, seeds are frequently provided to vulnerable households as part of the emergency response.

However, seeds are unlike other inputs such as fertiliser or tools because they are fragile living organisms with specific quality attributes.

In addition, crop varieties must be adapted to the targeted agro-ecological zone and meet the preferences of the local households.

Farmers' seed systems are complex and seed exchange is highly regulated at the national and international levels.
