Quality seeds wanted

Availability of good-quality seeds of a wide range of plant varieties is a major challenge to countries in sub-Saharan Africa. A good seed policy should in addition contribute to the maximisation of both agrobiodiversity and productivity, while reducing environment degradation and depletion of natural resources. Current views and discourses on this topic can be found in the proceedings of the Regional Technical Meeting on Seed Policy and Programmes for sub-Saharan Africa held in Abidjan in 1998.
