Aims
Since the “Semillas de Identidad” campaign started in 2010, 15 seed networks have been established. Since then, the seed guardians in the networks have succeeded in providing over 10 tons of seed to village seed banks. In recent years, they have developed a participatory guarantee system (PGS), a methodology for ensuring the quality, promotion and distribution of agricultural seeds.
