Embrace community seed banks to promote food sovereignty, ESAFF uganda.

Estimates from Uganda National bureau of standards shows that 30 percent of the seeds on the Ugandan market are fake. This was reported in January 2023, where Uganda destroyed 90 tonnes of substandard and counterfeit agricultural products including seeds, fertilizers and herbicides seized in enforcement operation.

With this revelation, Farmers around the country have been called upon to embrace community seed banks in their villages, this will enable them to have authority and right for their seeds this is because most small scale farmers , particularly women face challenges that affect their seed sovereignty such as lack of access to quality seeds, the influx of fake seeds on the markets and increasing pressure from multinational corporations. This therefore means it's difficult to achieve food security and sovereignty due to low production, the main reason ESAFF UGANDA has come in to support farmers .

"Food sovereignty is the right of people to healthy , nutritious and culturally appropriate food accessible and produced through ecologically sound and sustainable method"

Seeds are an essential element in production representing a valuable resource that is paramount in sustaining the supply of food, it enhances rural development and poverty eradication. Therefore community seed banks should be recognized, supported and promoted by developing and implementing policies geared towards indigenous seed system.

Mr Philip Alexander Ampeire an agricultural expert and a senior trainer at St Jude Family project in Masaka says different farmer groups in Masaka have started implementing this initiative and they have reduced so much costs that comes with buying seeds every planting season

Ampeire says that community seed banks ensures quality of the crops produced unlike the seeds bought from the open markets that are in most cases easily attacked by pests and diseases.
