The How-To Seed Systems guide is up now!
The How-To Seed Systems guide supports SDC staff, partners, and stakeholders in strengthening seed systems as a pathway to more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable food systems, particularly in the Global South.
To guide action, the How-To adopts a structured framework based on eight core seed system functions: production, distribution, services, utilisation, stakeholder organisation, regulation, coordination, and financing.
