Home >> Agrobiodiversity >> Individual Seed Savers
We encourage individual seed savers as part of our conservation programme. Individual seed savers are initiated to grow rare crop varieties apart from the successful varieties in a small plot of land. These farmers in turn can exchange seeds with other seed savers in getting the varieties that the farmer could demonstrate in the present season. Individual seed savers are also encouraged to give a few of the seeds they conserve to the community seed bank. This widens the network of seed savers and also raises awareness among other farmers in the area.
