Seeds Bank

CYSD’s Seed Bank initiative plays a crucial role in promoting agricultural resilience and self-sufficiency among small and marginal farmers. By preserving and distributing high-quality indigenous and climate-resilient seeds, the Seed Bank ensures farmers have reliable access to diverse crop varieties suited to local conditions. This initiative not only safeguards traditional seed biodiversity but also reduces farmers' dependence on external markets for seeds, thereby enhancing food security and sustainability. Additionally, CYSD facilitates capacity-building sessions on seed selection, storage, and organic farming practices, empowering farmers with the knowledge to sustain and expand their agricultural productivity. Through this effort, CYSD strengthens community-led conservation practices while fostering climate-adaptive farming systems in rural areas.
