Seeds for Needs is a Bioversity International project that identifies crop varieties likely to perform well under future climatic conditions. Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), it serves as a matchmaker for farmers to find suitable crops for evolving conditions. The project was named a winner in the World Bank’s Development Marketplace 2009 competition.

Hinweis der Redaktion
- Lack of information and access to durum—one of the major crops of Ethiopia—seeds of better-adapted varieties leaves many Ethiopian smallholder farmers vulnerable to increased food insecurity. The required diversity and traits, in the form of more than 3,000 durum wheat accessions, are available in the national gene bank held by the Institute of Biodiversity Conservation. Seeds for Needs is working to bridge the gap between farmers’ lack of access to seeds and the abundance of accessions in genebanks by providing locally-adapted seeds that are able to meet future conditions of unpredictable rainfall and changes in temperature.

- Climate change: divergent experiences and varied awareness, changes in rainfall most noticed.Fast economic change and growth: help motivate crop choices and varietal preferencesLimited crop diversity: CGB membership is a crucial factor in varietal choiceWheat rust is a key concern for farmers at the moment, offering a potential analogue for future climate change.
