Agricultural Biodiversity Community annual meeting, Kenya

Over the last three years the Agricultural Biodiversity Community (abc) has held various workshops and meetings resulting in the priority areas; Seeds and Breeds, Resilient Communities, Markets and Trade, Information Networks, Policy and Governance. First there was the idea of “breaking the glass house”while focusing on various operation environments e.g. governments; after a study then the thought process. The meeting in Bangkok helped setup abc vision, mission, logo, and other specific roles. The gathering in India defined the workstation and prepared cases for a special issue of Farming Matters magazine. Then in Boxtel, Netherlandsthe community developed 3 working groups at different levels of engagements on Open Seed Sources, Community Resilience Assessment Tool, and Wikiseedia/ Policy Briefs.
