Farmers' Seed Network (FSN) applies participatory, community-based action research to strengthen smallholder resilience in China's mountain and dryland landscapes. FSN promotes sustainable land management, soil and water conservation, agroforestry and restoration of degraded terraces, and farmer-led breeding of drought-tolerant crops. Through community seed banks and farmer-managed seed systems, it conserves the agrobiodiversity underpinning climate-adaptive agriculture and drought resilience.
