Through the Virtual Seed Academy we aim to bring different research and practitioner communities together. Our vision is “to bring academia to the field and the field to academia”.
Research and practitioners form their own communities and are housed in different organisations, in different parts of the world. They have their own particular knowledge and focus which makes their contribution to seed systems research and development valuable and complementary.
Here we try to meet – virtual and in real -, to discuss and create possibilities to learn and work together.
Here are a some of these groups and topics:
In situ an ex situ conservation of genetic resources
Farmer demand for seed
Local seed production
Our resources and linkages
Based on our collective efforts we compiled relevant readings and other resources for helping to understand seed systems, how to research them, and intervene provide support to them.
