SUMMARY:International Course on Plant Genetic Resources and Resilient Seed Systems for Sustainable Food Security
DESCRIPTION:Why resilient seed systems?\nIncreasing stresses on agricultural systems have resulted in an intensification of the use of natural resources for agricultural production. Many have risen concerns on the future of food and nutrition security\, especially for smallholder farmers and their communities. The actual seed systems appear not sustainable if we are to feed more than 9 billion people in 2050. For agriculture to be sustainable\, new approaches in seed systems ought to transit from conservation towards resilience. \nAn integrated approach: resilient seed systems\nThe challenge is not to maintain the status quo of a particular system\, but to make it more amenable to deal with stresses and shocks of different nature. To achieve this a much better understanding is required of the processes that make seed systems operate effectively or not\, especially in what concern individual and collective decision-making capacity of farmers. This can be done by increasing the access to useful knowledge and information\, creating opportunities to learn about (new) crops and crop varieties that fit local agricultural conditions\, building new or expanding existing relationships to exchange seeds and related knowledge\, and through participation in community and higher level decision-making processes related to seeds. \nFrom a research and development point of view\, it requires a holistic\, dynamic and participatory approach that supports farmers to understand and implement the principles of a resilient seed system\, fosters collective action and catalyzes innovation. \nCourse objectives\nUpon completion of the course you will: \n\nBe familiar with contemporary approaches towards crop conservation and sustainable use of plan and genetic resource for food and agriculture (PGRFA);\nKnow the conceptual framework of resilient seed systems\, its components\, and practices;\nBe able to identify opportunities in your local context to integrate resilient seed systems and food security in implementation strategies\nLearn mechanism and procedure for acquiring (new) planting material;\nDesigning a successful intervention for resilient seed systems and food security;\nLinking ex-situ conservation (seed conserved in a genebank) with the on-farm management of PGRFA through a community seed bank\, seed fairs\, diversity blocks);\nLearn about supportive policies and laws boosting seed systems towards resilience.\n\nTarget audience\nThe training is designed for public\, civic\, research\, education and/or development professionals working in a range of relevant programmes. Applicants should have at least a BSc degree\, have three years of professional experience in a relevant field\, and be proficient in English. \nPractical Information\nOrganized by: Wageningen Centre for Development Innovation\nDate: Mon 19 October 2020 until Fri 6 November 2020\nVenue: Nepal\nPrice: EUR 4\,100.00 \nDeadline Orange Knowledge / MENA Scholarship Programme 2020’s course: 17 March 2020 \nDeadline registration 2020’s course: 7 September 2020 \nFOR MORE\nALSO READ:\n– International Course on ‘Plant Genetic Resources and Resilient Seed Systems for Sustainable Food Security’ in Nepal \n– International Course on ‘PGR and Seeds for Sustainable Food Security’ in Nepal
