SEEDS FOR SECURITY
Addressing the issues of climate change,
indigenous knowledge and seed diversity.
The aim of this project is to strengthen indigenous climate change strategies with an emphasis on enhancing seed diversity in the Kenyan areas of Lari, an intensive farming area in Central Province and Yatta, a drier farming area in Eastern Province.
Activities of the project will include intergenerational dialogues on climate change and adaptive strategies based on indigenous knowledge and associated eco-spiritual features such as sacred sites. It will support community-based research on local seeds and identify where seeds occur and develop strategy for their access and re-introduction. The project will conduct training to enhance traditional agro-ecological farming practices and document methodology for publication and sharing as a coping mechanism for climate change.
