Landrace Seed Bank

A Landrace Seed Bank is a collection that preserves traditional varieties of plants, particularly crops, which have adapted to local environments over generations. These landrace varieties are often resilient and carry unique traits suited to specific climates and conditions. By storing these seeds, a Landrace Seed Bank helps protect agricultural biodiversity, ensuring that farmers and researchers can access them for future cultivation, breeding, and food security. This initiative is crucial in the face of climate change and industrial agriculture, safeguarding the genetic diversity that is vital for sustainable food systems.
