Abstract
Home grown vegetables are the main source of nutrition diversity for smallholder farmers and they provide resilience to shocks and stresses in nutrition access. Seed is a key input to ensure this home growing of vegetables, whether from local or external source. The influx of external seed, rapid development of output markets and a high rate of land fragmentation pose strains on local…
