Decentralised agrobiodiversity conservation: A multi stakeholder participatory experiment

Cultivated plant species and domesticated animal species, including their genetic variants and associated plant and animal diversity, are collectively called ‘agrobiodiversity’. These resources are at risk with the expansion of industrial agriculture, and maintaining locally adapted native seed mate...

description Cultivated plant species and domesticated animal species, including their genetic variants and associated plant and animal diversity, are collectively called ‘agrobiodiversity’. These resources are at risk with the expansion of industrial agriculture, and maintaining locally adapted native seed materials in micro agro-ecosystems will be vital for ensuring crop resilience to climate change. This study narrates the learning experiences of a 3-year participatory project – Networking traditional farmers and local self-governments for agro-biodiversity conservation and Wayanad community seed festival – implemented with local communities and local governments. The aim of the project was to democratise agrobiodiversity conservation efforts through a seed conservation movement in the Wayanad district of Kerala, India.
