Social Seed Networks for Climate Change Adaptation in Uganda: Strategies to Improve Access to Genetic Diversity and Information. Results from a study to better understand farmers’... por Otieno, Gloria Atieno, Lacasse, Hannah, Adokorach, Joyce, Mulumba, John W., Recha, John W.M., Reynolds, Travis W., Fadda, Carlo

“…In Uganda, 85% of the seed is from ‘informal’ sources consisting of seed saved from own farm as well as seed obtained from neighbours and other local sources. Research in East Africa has suggested that community-generated information sharing might support more effective farmer response to the changing seasonal and weather patterns associated with climate change (Adhikari et al. 2015). …”
