dcterms.abstractPolicy reforms affecting seed systems can have significant implications for smallholder farmers, particularly women-led producer groups. This article reports on the lifting of restrictions on seed sharing and examines how the change has enabled renewed opportunities for a women’s group engaged in local seed production and exchange. The removal of the ban has strengthened access to diverse seed varieties, revitalized traditional seed-sharing practices, and improved prospects for food security and income generation. The article highlights the role of supportive policy environments in empowering women, sustaining community-based seed systems, and enhancing resilience in small-scale agricultural systems. Overall, it illustrates how regulatory shifts can unlock locally driven solutions for inclusive agricultural development.en
