InfographicSeed rescue and conservation following disasters 2021
Also available in:
No results found.After disasters, restoring and conserving local seed supply is crucial for food and nutrition security. However, rescuing and restoring seed systems is often not considered in national or regional emergency response planning. This flow-chart shows how farmers, extension workers, non-governmental organizations and genebanks can work together and tap into the International Plant Treaty’s global genepool to rebuild local seed systems. It provides a summary of steps to be taken, both to conserve the seed diversity that is left or at risk of disappearing and to find and retrieve new planting materials that are preferred and needed by farming communities. The steps in the flow-chart are informed by a joint Food and Agriculture Organization and International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture project, implemented by the genebanks of Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. -
