The Roles of Community Seed Banks in Climate Change Adaptation, Access,…

- - - - Synergies
        
        Westengen, et al. (2020)
        Collaboration Between Local and Global Conservation Efforts
        showcases how international collaboration and global seed vaults support and enhance local efforts. The synergy between local seed banks and global repositories strengthens the overall resilience of agricultural systems against climate change.
      - Social benefits
      - Long term benefits
- - - - Role of government in supporting seed banks
    - - Dawson et al., (2023)
        financial, Institutional & Policy Support for CSBs
        Vernooy et al. stress the importance of institutional backing for CSBs, and Dawson et al. reinforce this by identifying policy interventions and sustainability strategies that improve seed bank longevity.
    - - Challenges of surviving after a few years
      - Women's rights and access to Nature
        
        Decent income
        
        Example: Gumbu village in South Africa (more than 40 women farmers)
  - - - Long term (heritage)
      - Short term (availability)
    - - Training the famers
      - Breeding strategies
      - Exchange systems (each farmer returns twice the number of seeds they borrowed)
      - Research
        
        Storing strategies
        
        Use of GIS for climate modelling
- - - - Scaling up in policies
      - Context based solution
  - - - Famine events
      - Supply chain disruption
  - - - Indigenous populations
      - Rituals and food practices
        
        Sievers-Glotzbach et al., (2020)
        Role of Traditional Knowledge
        Both studies highlight how traditional farming knowledge is critical in sustaining seed banks. Vernooy et al. stress the need to preserve indigenous knowledge, while Sievers-Glotzbach et al. show how community-led CSBs in Guatemala use local knowledge to maintain crop diversity.
  - - - Access to planting materials
    - - Ex. Uganda, community seed bank serving more than 1000 farmers
      - Horizontal learning
- - - - Example: buckwheat varieties in Bhutan
  - - - Agroforestry
      - Intercropping
    - - Winter crops
      - Cold hardy varieties
