Find the Right Seeds

Every year, seed banks and companies develop higher-yielding and more climate-resilient seeds for farmers in Africa and Central America. We identify these seeds, test, and license them.

Make Them Nutritious

We crossbreed these high-yielding seeds with naturally occurring varieties with enough zinc, iron, and quality protein proven to decrease malnutrition.

Make Them Accessible

Farmers want improved seeds but often can’t afford them. We partner with seed companies, governments, and NGOs to make these seeds more accessible through social programs and subsidies.
