This article emphasizes the critical need for quality seeds to support small-scale agriculture in climate-vulnerable countries, particularly in Africa. It highlights the benefits of advanced seed varieties in enhancing food production and improving livelihoods, with examples showing up to a 20% productivity increase for nine EU crops over 15 years. However, access to these improved seeds remains limited, despite their potential to bolster food and nutrition security amidst climate change. The article advocates for increased investment and collaboration between the private sector and stakeholders like NGOs and public institutions to improve seed access and quality in countries like Rwanda. It stresses the importance of developing robust regulatory frameworks to ensure a consistent supply of high-quality seeds, which is crucial for fostering resilient farming systems and combating the effects of climate change.
