The Resource Box for Resilient Seed Systems is a learning material based on Bioversity International’s long experience in seed systems research at local, national and global levels. It contains a methodology to build resilient seed systems that meet the needs of tomorrow and help farmers adapt to climate change effects.

The step-wise research process is presented in these eight learning modules:

Situational analysis and planning
Data preparation and software selection  
Climate change analysis and identification of  germplasm
Germplasm acquisition
Field testing
Germplasm conservation  
Participatory evaluation
Knowledge sharing and communication

There is one specific module in this resource box for each of these steps.
