A citizen science approach to provide improved seeds to 1.3 million Ethiopian farmers
New seeds need to be tested, but often the space and funds for testing are limited. CCAFS and Bioversity International supported the Integrated Seed Sector Development Ethiopia (ISSD Ethiopia) to implement a crowd-sourced, citizen science approach that provides a cost-effective solution. Around...

| description | New seeds need to be tested, but often the space and funds for testing are limited. CCAFS and Bioversity International supported the Integrated Seed Sector Development Ethiopia (ISSD Ethiopia) to implement a crowd-sourced, citizen science approach that provides a cost-effective solution.
Around 6,000 farmers (53% women) were trained in trial formats at 60 farmer training centers. Subsequently, these farmers undertook field trials and shared seeds with others to create seed demand, affecting an estimated 1.3 million farmers. |
