Ethiopian
farmers are learning that seed
security is the basis of food
security.
After a successful trial, the Food
and Agricultural Organisation of
the United Nations in 2013
began introducing high yielding
seeds to Ethiopia's small-scale
farmers.
The farmers are now reporting
significantly increased crop yields
and greater crop resilience to
disease and drought because of
the new seed varieties. IPS spoke
to the farmers about the
improved seeds and how it has
impacted their household income and food security
