PLANT is a catalyst for indigenous communities and smallholder farmers to speak for themselves, their eco-systems and Seed & Food Sovereignty, instead of others speaking for them.
PLANT works with partners in Brazilian Amazonia and in sub-Saharan Africa.

Towards National and Regional Seed Policies in Africa that Recognize and Support Farmer Seed Systems
African Centre for Biodiversity -- 23 Mar 2018
"Our starting point is that seed policies and laws, as they are being developed across Africa and globally today, neither recognise nor support farmer seed systems ... However, more recent times have seen a growing recognition that farmer seed systems remain the foundation of agricultural production across Africa and in other places, globally, and are intricately linked to the ability to transition agriculture towards agroecology through supporting and strengthening biodiversity, with ‘downstream’ effects throughout the food system."
