This book is the first to provide a global review of the development of community seed banks and includes a wide range of case studies. It reviews their history, evolution, experiences, successes and failures (and reasons why), challenges and prospects. It fills a significant gap in the literature on agricultural biodiversity and conservation, and their contribution to food sovereignty and security.
