| 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.
