Introduction to Community Seed Banks The Importance of Community Seed Banks The video begins by emphasizing the crucial role of community seed banks in preserving local land races, which are gradually being overshadowed by the focus on high-yielding crop varieties. These seed banks can help maintain agricultural biodiversity, which is increasingly important given the predicted impacts of climate change on food production. Agricultural Biodiversity and Climate Change The video highlights the concerning statistics that out of approximately 400,000 known plant varieties, only about 5,500 are used for human food. Moreover, 12 crops and 5 animal species provide 75% of the world's energy intake. This lack of diversification, coupled with the International Panel on Climate Change's prediction of a 2% decrease in agricultural production every decade until 2050, underscores the need for more diverse seed systems. Role of Community Seed Banks Community seed banks can address this issue by producing, storing, and distributing seeds of local varieties, thereby improving seed availability and diversity. These banks are defined as storage places where indigenous seed varieties are conserved and managed by community members. Types of Community Seed Banks The video categorizes community seed banks into three types based on their functions: Community Gene Banks: Focus on conserving local varieties as plant genetic resources. Community Seed Banks: Concerned with access and availability of local cultivars. Community Gene cum Seed Banks: Perform the functions of both a seed bank and a gene bank. Establishing Community Seed Banks The video outlines the steps involved in establishing community seed banks, which include gathering baseline information, collecting and conserving seeds of local land races, building capacity for variety evaluation and seed production, and producing quality seeds of selected varieties for conservation and use. Documentation and Sustainability Documentation is emphasized as a crucial part of managing a community seed bank, with the video detailing the use of accession registers, management cards, activity planners, and seed movement books. The video concludes by discussing strategies for ensuring the sustainability of community seed banks, such as seed sales, subscriptions, and obtaining funds from government agencies.
