Bio-diversity

For many marginal rural communities in South Africa, growing their own food and practising low input agriculture is a key survival strategy. They rely on a diversity of seed and crops to ensure food security in adverse times. On-farm seed saving and community seed banks is the only way they can have access to a diverse, reliable, appropriate and affordable seed supply. This project aims to support the capacity of these communities to establish sustainable seed supply systems and promotes agro-biodiversity.
