Date: September 9th, 2025

Time: 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM GMT +2

Format: Online (Zoom)

AgriCord and the Pan-African Farmers’ Organization (PAFO) are pleased to announce their upcoming webinar, “Integrating Farmer-Managed Seed Systems (FMSS) into Seed Policy Frameworks in Africa: Progress and Future Paths.”

Seeds are at the heart of food security. Yet, across Africa, restrictive laws and certification systems often limit farmers’ ability to produce, save, and exchange traditional seeds. This webinar will bring together farmer leaders, policymakers, and researchers to debate how seed policies can better recognize and support farmer-led seed systems.
