Today, SD=HS started working together with Catholic Relief Services (CRS) to investigate the organisational, legal and economic aspects of seed production and marketing by smallholder farmers across countries and systems
The purpose of this collaboration agreement is to compare the achievements of the seed clubs in the Mekong Delta with those of farmers producing under Quality Declared Seed systems in Uganda and Tanzania and yet other production conditions in Niger. It follows from our joint interest in activities that in fact bridge the informal and formal seed systems.
This project is the first in a series of seed system studies in which Oxfam Novib and Catholic Relief Services wish to collaborate.
