This project will enhance access to a diverse portfolio of crops and crops' varieties that are more suitable to address farmers needs, particularly to meet restoration as well as food security needs. Access to seeds, and therefore functioning and efficient seed systems, both formal and informal, is essential to ensure delivery of appropriate locally adapted seeds for restoration, food security or nutrition.
