In August 2012 we raised enough to set up 4 seed banks. These 4 seed banks will impact on hundreds of farmers, their families and wider communities. Seed banks facilitate the reproduction of seeds year after year. The self production of seed is a cost effective method for the farming communities and helps increase yields.
