After the devastating earthquake in Myanmar, many people are in great need. We are on the ground helping affected families with urgently needed relief supplies.

SWISSAID hosted a webinar on 24 April 2025 to mark the publication of “Seeds at Risk”. The central importance of seeds for our food systems was discussed.

SWISSAID co-published Seeds at risk, a powerful appeal for the vital role of farmers’ seeds in food security and biodiversity preservation. Through a North-South perspective, the authors shed light on the pressure large corporations exert on farmers to adopt industrial seeds and secure lucrative patents. The publication was launched with a webinar in which the key findings and ways of resistance were discussed.
