BUILDING CLIMATE RESILIENT, SUSTAINABLE AND INCLUSIVE SEED SYSTEMS FOR FOOD AND NUTRITION SECURITY
Seed security is fundamental to both global food security and local nutritional security. A well-functioning and biodiverse seed system enables farmers to access seeds of a wide variety of crops at the right time and at an affordable cost, ensuring food and nutrition security. Seed systems are critical for increasing food production, enhancing resilience to climate change, and addressing malnutrition. In the era of climate change, strengthening seed systems becomes even more crucial, as resilient and sustainable seed systems help farmers adapt to unpredictable weather patterns while ensuring food diversity and nutritional health.
