Improving women farmers’ access to quality seeds in Uganda
Small-scale farmers, particularly women, face challenges that affect their seed sovereignty such as lack of access to quality seed, the infl ux of fake seeds in the markets, and increasing pressure from multinational corporations. With all these challenges it is diffi cult to increase production and productivity to achieve food security and sovereignty. ESAFF Uganda used a community-led seed security model in one district of Northern Uganda to ensure that small scale farmers can access quality seed and have the power and right to save, use, exchange and sell seeds.
