BSF project "National Community Seed Bank Platform for Strengthening Informal Seed System in Ethiopia"

"National Community Seed Bank Platform for Strengthening Informal Seed System in Ethiopia" is one of the projects supported by the Benefit-Sharing Fund of the International Treaty for Food and Agriculture (Fourth Cycle). This project addresses food security and resilience to climate change in different agro-ecological zones of Ethiopia, across several regional states. It will strengthen the work of nearly thirty community seed banks (CSBs), as a crucial aspect of the informal seed system which meets over 90% of the national seed demand and thereby underwrites livelihoods and food security.
