| What problem does the tool address?: | Organic farming requires biodiverse, locally adapted varieties for the best results, but availability of seed from traditional and heritage varieties is limited, and biodiverse populations are even rarer. |
| What solution does the tool offer?: | In Italy, Rete Semi Rurali set up a community seed bank for cereals where seed is identified, checked for quality and stored for saving and sharing. The video illustrates how it was done. |
