The Training of Trainers (TOT) on seed systems, seed saving, and marketing happening in Kalaki district. This is a transformative training aimed at equipping TOT farmers and community facilitators with practical, hands-on knowledge to strengthen farmer-led seed systems. By focusing on seed selection, storage, quality assurance, and local market access, the training empowers participants to become champions of seed sovereignty within their communities. In the face of climate change and rising input costs, this TOT also builds the capacity of local actors to preserve indigenous seed varieties, promote community based seed banks, and enhance income through sustainable marketing practices. Ultimately, it lays the groundwork for resilient, self-sustaining farming systems where knowledge is passed on, biodiversity is protected, and farmers regain control over their seeds and food systems.
