Seed revival through household seed banks
Biowatch believes that seed must stay firmly in the hands of farmers and, therefore, is committed to supporting farmers to establish household seed banks and community seed networks. Biowatch puts this into practice by providing training in agroecology and support to small-holder farmers in KwaNgwanase, Pongola, Ingwavuma, Tshaneni and KwaHhohho in northern KwaZulu-Natal who are reviving and conserving their indigenous seed systems.
This document showcases the facts about why it is important for farmers to save seed and build community seed networks.
