Descripción
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the weaknesses and vulnerabilities in food systems and revealed opportunities for increasing their sustainability.
“Building back better” post COVID-19 must occur at multiple levels. Seeds are among the first links in the food chain. FAO defines seed security as ready access by rural households, particularly farmers, to adequate quantities of quality seed and planting materials, adapted to their agro-ecological conditions and socio-economic needs at planting time, under normal and abnormal weather conditions. Ensuring seed security is a critical and recurrent issue in disaster response and recovery and investing in seed development is the first step in the provision of diverse diets.
