Safeguarding Indigenous Seeds in Southwest Morocco
Organization information
Dar Si Hmad
Location: Agadir, Morocco
Summary
This project will gather, grow, reproduce, store & distribute indigenous Amazigh Anti-Atlas variety of barely, millet and wheat seeds increasingly under threat of disappearing. These graints have grown over mellenia and are entirely adapted to the dry mountain ecosystem. Providing some 40 local farmers who practise livelihood farming with these varieties will decrease their expenses, their dependency on external sources and provide them and families with bread, major food staple in the region.
