The main objective of the ‘Seed Village Concept’ is involving farmers for training in quality seed production and thereby to make available quality seeds to others at appropriate time and affordable cost.

The Seed Village Concept aims to develop a self-sufficient seed production system within a village by training farmers to produce high-quality seeds of different crops, which they can use themselves or sell to other farmers in the same village or nearby areas.

This concept promotes decentralized seed production, reduces dependence on external seed sources, ensures timely availability of seeds, and improves the quality of seeds used by farmers, ultimately enhancing agricultural productivity. It focuses on community participation and capacity building at the local level.
