Summary

The Seeds4Soils project aims to utilize the potential of traditional African vegetables, their wild relatives and associated soil microorganisms to regenerate agricultural soils and increase climate resilience of vulnerable Malagasy farming communities. The project will: i) rescue soil and crop biodiversity; ii) unravel its adaptive potential for climate-resilient agriculture; iii) increase farming system productivity and resilience through participatory restoration of soil health; and iv) generate livelihood opportunities through new markets for vegetables and co-production of regenerative seed kits (R-kits).
