Projects

Some of our work and financing comes from bidding for projects, in particular such projects allow us to carry out independent research, education and dissemination, on farm conservation and seed sharing as well as advocacy and international campaigning.

Our projects are initiated together with our members or international partners with similar aims and objectives, and can take place at the regional, national and international scale.
