Principal activities:
- survey of PGR, seed systems and crop management (including farmers'
selection) and documentation on rice, maize, yam, cassava, sweet potato and
banana;
- introduction, local testing and dissemination (PVS) of genetic materials
(farmers' varieties, modern varieties, research materials);
- training of farmers in PGR conservation, development (selection) and seed
production (farmer field schools);
- on-farm conservation;
- other fields (marketing studies, ecological pest management, soil
fertility management)
The CBDC Project in Bohol has carried out a detailed survey
of genetic diversity, seed systems and management of a number of crops. It
focuses on increasing farmers’ access to genetic diversity and supporting
their management of the resources. This approach links a process of empowerment
with local genetic resource conservation and development.
