Ethiopia is one of the world’s richest boxes of biodiversity. But when we talk about agricultural diversity, this treasure is under threat.

To face this problem, in the last years some pioneering experiments started, with the aim of conserving traditional seeds through the connection between researchers and farmers.

One of these projects was developed in collaboration with the European consortium SOLIBAM, a scientific endeavour to promote agrobiodiversity and food security.

Here we put together some voices collected during a workshop held in Ethiopia in May 2014.
