肯尼亚社区种子库：守护传统作物多样性
In the drylands of eastern Kenya, a quiet revolution is taking place. Farmers who once relied on commercial seeds are now storing their own – in community-run seed banks that safeguard ancient varieties of sorghum, millet, and cowpea. These grassroots repositories are becoming crucial as climate change threatens the world's food supply.
The idea is simple but powerful. Each farmer saves a portion of their harvest and contributes seeds to a shared bank. In return, they can withdraw seeds of other varieties for planting next season. This system ensures that drought-resistant, pest-tolerant crops – long adapted to local conditions – do not disappear from memory or from the fields.
