- - - - Community seed bank has 5 different roles (Article)
        
        Conserving seeds of local bean varieties in situ
        
        Facilitating capacity building of farmers and communities in the production of quality seed
        
        Multiplying seeds of local varieties that are rare and unique or which are becoming less available to farmers, and making them available every season
        
        assessing diverse materials for different functional traits such as early maturity or drought tolerance
        
        providing diverse seeds of good quality that have potential to adapt to climate change.
      - to ensure sustained diversity, farmers that use seed from the community seed bank must return double the amount after harvesting
    - - Of the 70 bean varieties held at the community seed bank, 21 were popular among farmers and of those 21, farmers prioritized 5 varieties as the most important for climate change adaptation.
  - - - Interconnection of community seed banks and national gene banks.
      - Scientific/Crowdsourcing Approach
    - - Initiative spread to 11+ different countries
- - - - Indigenous communities that use companion planting in ways that respond to the needs of the environment can contribute to climate change adaptation.
      - Indigenous communities that use agroforestry techniques also contribute to climate change adaptation /
