Seed requirements are as varied as the dynamic landscapes of food, agriculture, and the diverse communities they sustain. In its effort to promote a truly inclusive development of the seed sector, AfricaSeeds encourages all seed users to express their specific seed needs and share the challenges they face in meeting them.

AfricaSeeds' participation in SARA provided a valuable opportunity to catalog the existing diversity in seed needs. During interactions, some visitors agreed to share their experiences through videos to help strengthen advocacy for quality seeds for all.
