This book analyzes the sustainability of community seed production
under a rice-wheat farming system from microeconomic perspectives,
considering how seed producers benefit from community seed
production and how those benefits continue into the future. Seed
producers' performance in resource management, governance and
marketing strategies indicates current benefits, whereas soil
conservation and risk-management practices provide the basis for
future benefits. Community seed production is a local-level seed
management system owned by farmers. This system provides the
institutional mechanism to supply diversified seed demands of
open-pollinated varieties of food crops in a cost-effective way in
rural regions. Being able to address the concerns of food
insecurity, poverty, climate stress and biodiversity loss in
programs and policies of development agencies, community seed
production is gaining popularity among the farmers and the policy
makers in developing countries. This book discusses the issues of
organizational governance of the community seed producers' groups
and links them with household-level benefits to understand the
organizational dynamism and the probable development paths of such
organizations in the future. It also highlights the necessity to
institutionalize lessons learned in community seed production in
the stakeholders' programs and policies. These understandings
provide a basis for formulating policies for strengthening the
system in developing countries. Students, researchers, policy
makers and donor agencies working with CSP in the developing world
will find this book useful in broadening their understanding of CSP
in general and its sustainability in particular.
