dc.descriptionIn the lush highlands of southern Colombia, farmers face pressing challenges in seed and food security, compounded by falling crop diversity and limited seed exchange between farmers. In response, a new community seedbank aims to conserve local seeds, enrich agrobiodiversity and foster seed and knowledge exchange among local farmers. With a focus on Indigenous culture and education, the seedbank will support healthy and diverse food production, local food sovereignty, and increase the next generation's understanding of the importance of agrobiodiversity.
