Community seed bank

Excellent Development initially supplies seeds which are available for members of self-help groups to use. The farmers commit to return double the quantity of seeds after harvest, building up their own seed store - ensuring that there will be seed to plant in the coming seasons, even if one harvest fails. Communities create 'independence', improving food security.
