What do high food prices mean for farmers' seed access?
Année: 2008
Access to seed of locally adapted crops - both landraces and improved varieties - is crucial for farmers to maintain and increase the productivity of basic food crops. Access is defined by three dimensions: physical availability, cost and information. increasing seed supply is only one way of increasing physical access - and in many cases it might not be the most effective, if lack of information or capacity to purchase are the problem rather than the lack of seed.
