View the @LegumeLab Global Virtual Convening 2022 research presentation, “Transforming Seed Systems to Respond to Bean Variety Demand Through Multi-Stakeholder Platforms in Malawi" led by Dr. Jean Claude Rubyogo, Alliance of Bioversity International & CIAT #FeedtheFuture #Legumes

It was argued that seed systems development should be ‘Gender inclusive’. More women get access to quality seed varieties and training, finance and access to the market.
