A Seed Bank with a Climate Resilient Demonstration Garden is now established in Mpigi, Uganda, near the repurposed container.
When local youth are equipped with the knowledge and tools to grow climate-resilient vegetables, they are ready to access the seed bank. The seed bank provides the ideal conditions to store and preserve seeds, helping them germinate into seedlings and enabling large-scale crop production.
Inside, the participants find a diverse selection of crops like yellow-fleshed sweet potatoes, cassava, beans, lemongrass, oval-shaped tomatoes, and many more.
The seed bank acts as a multiplication center for climate-resilient seeds. The seeds and harvested vegetables will be shared with the local community, strengthening local self-sufficiency and ensuring a reliable food source for everyone.
