Summary
Agro-pastoralists in Somalia continue to be negatively impacted by limited agrobiodiversity of plant genetic resources as well as degradation of farmlands and grazing areas. Building on documented achievements and lessons learned from our ongoing Darwin project, this proposal aims to scale up investments in existing and new Community Seed Banks to enhance agriculture production and food security and to strengthening commercial market viability. To ensure scalability and sustainability, DF will also support seed policy operationalization and National Seed Bank development.
Darwin Initiative Round 32 is now open for applications! A new round of funding to support ambitious projects delivering impact for biodiversity and communities.
