Co-Creating Sustainable Food Systems: Seeds

This is the second episode of the podcast series co-produced as part of the Co-creating Change towards Sustainable Food Systems: Learning with Communities of Practice in Zimbabwe project. 

In this episode, we discuss how food security begins with having organic seeds easily accessible at home, with timely planting to ensure good harvests. By making sure seeds are available to all and that planting is done on schedule, we can secure a more reliable food supply. The stories shared highlight the significance of seed conservation, legislative reform and innovation to overcome agricultural challenges.

The podcast series, along with a website (see link below) and Stories of Change book (available for download on the website), have resulted from a collaboration between Dr Pamela Richardson (University of Sheffield) and three Zimbabwean organisations: Kufunda Village, PORET Trust and PELUM Zimbabwe. 

The production of the podcast series and book was funded through a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellowship, with support from the Institute for Sustainable Food, the Institute for Global Sustainable Development and the School of Geography and Planning at the University of Sheffield.

Both the podcast series and book will be freely available to all as an open educational resource.
