2 - Securing seed supply

Plant genetic resources are important to farming communities not only for production, but also for their role in culture and tradition. Women have been the primary contributors to this form of biodiversity management, identifying and storing seeds each year. As seed embodies the past and future of agriculture, its preservation is paramount for long term sustainability of soil, eco-systems and farming communities.
