Farmer Managed Seed Systems in Africa
Farmer Managed Seed Systems in Africa Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 26 Views • 5 years ago

ORFC Global 2021 Session

Farmer Managed Seed Systems (FMSS) have, for hundreds of years, played a crucial role across the African continent in ensuring a diverse diet for millions of people and sustaining biodiversity. However, there is no continental law governing seeds in Africa and corporates have taken this as an opportunity to grab resources from the agricultural sector - which still occupies 70 % of the population into Africa - and sell them seed, fertilizers and pesticides. In some regions various stakeholders such as seed companies and their allies, are promoting uniformity in the name of high yield seed and food security. 

Despite the push of multiple legal-political instruments to install industrial seed systems as the vehicle of African agriculture, 80% of seeds used by farmers in Africa come from their own reserves.  In this panel, organised by AFSA, we will learn about two levels of resistance to the African seeds takeover by industry: first is led by civil society organisations at sub regional level, engaging the push of seed law revision favourable to hybrid seeds and GMO’s. Second is at national levels where farmers’ organisations break the law by organising seed festivals; sharing indigenous seed, knowledge and practices.

IS NIGERIAN CULTURE DYING IN THE DIASPORA? | #Culture Baka Omubo 26 Views • 5 years ago

This video is about whether Nigerian cultures are dying in the diaspora. Is the Igbo culture dying inside and outside of Nigeria? Why are Igbos' no longer speaking Igbo or teaching their children the language. How to ensure the continuation of African culture especially in the diaspora where there are external forces working against it.

Udochi, founder of Ikenga Nation chat about our experiences in the diaspora.
