Abstract

Following the 2007/2008 food crisis, agriculture and food security re-emerged on the global development agenda. The seed sector became a priority for its potential in raising crop productivity and adapting crops to climate change. Since then, Wageningen University & Research, in collaboration with partners, has been implementing national seed programs in Ethiopia, Uganda and Nigeria, guided by ‘integrated seed sector development’ (ISSD) that recognizes and supports multiple seed systems through which farmers obtain their seed.
