Descripción
The seed production tool has been developed for community based seed producers and inspectors under the “Strengthening community resilience to climate change in Blantyre, Zomba, Neno and Phalombe districts project.” The project is managed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Water Department through Department of Agricultural Research Services with funding from the European Union (EU). It is envisaged that the tool shall be utilized by government extension workers, non-governmental organizations and master trainers in farmer field schools. Recognizing that seed systems forms an integral part in accessing, utilization and availability of seeds in rural communities, its elements have greatly been articulated to create awareness among rural masses involved in the sector. It is anticipated that the seed systems shall be applied in the informal seed systems mainly for the production of quality declared seed.
