The aim of this module is to provide Junior Farmer Field and Life Schools (JFFLS) facilitators with information in order to be able to discuss the topic of community seed banks, in particular its importance regarding seed and food security, agro-biodiversity and sustainable agriculture. Through a series of small group discussions, role-plays, drama and case studies, this topic of community seed banks is highlighted. This module helps JFFLS participants to increase their knowledge on the importance of saving seeds, in particular traditional varieties, as well as how to set up and sustainably manage a community seed bank to contribute to diversifying and sustainably improving their livelihoods. The exercises can be undertaken at different points in the JFFLS cycle or this module can be used as a stand-alone topic.
