Seed Bank of Ethiopia

The Seed Bank of Ethiopia is a safeguard for the country's diverse plant genetic resources. It conserves and stores seeds of native and important crops to ensure their availability for future use. This helps protect Ethiopia’s agricultural biodiversity, supports food security, and enables farmers to access quality seeds for planting, especially in cases of environmental changes or crop failures. The Seed Bank plays a vital role in maintaining genetic diversity, promoting sustainable agriculture, and supporting efforts to adapt to climate change.
