Seeds are critical for addressing the dual challenges of food insecurity and climate change. Farmers depend on quality seed of appropriate varieties to attain food security. However, in recent times, natural disasters, such as droughts, floods and hurricanes, and human-caused disasters, such as wars and civil conflicts, have had an increasingly devastating impact on rural livelihoods and crop production systems, by halting crop production, destroying agricultural assets, hindering farmers’ access to agricultural inputs and decreasing food security. Addressing the seed security of disaster affected households, through relief operations, is a frequent response undertaken by national governments, UN organizations and NGOs to facilitate their recovery.
Cyaxis International supplies quality seeds to humanitarian organizations that work with local farmers in affected regions.
