Description Bioversity International's 'Seeds for Needs' initiative works with

farmers to research how agricultural biodiversity can help minimize the

risks associated with climate change. The concept is simple – if farmers

have better information and access to a wide range of varieties, they

are more able to choose what best suits their conditions and cope with

unpredictable weather.

Seeds for Needs is trying to encourage this by exposing farmers to more

crop varieties and increase their first-hand knowledge about different

traits and options available and strengthening their seed systems and

seed-saving capacity so that they always have access to planting

material that fits their changing needs.
