Disrupt! Open Source Seed Systems 2018 
Call for Applications 


Access to diverse, high quality and preferred seeds is an issue for small holder farmers in East Africa. 

The main aim of the Disrupt! Open Source Seed Systems is to get more social entrepreneurs involved that are able and interested to deliver products and services of quality to the small holder farmers. With diverse challenges in relation to access of diverse seeds, social entrepreneurs are expected to win back trust of farmers and deliver good products and services. Secondly social entrepreneurs need to position themselves in times of rapid changes in the sector. Distinguishing oneself from the mainstream development may prove to be a good future option. Seeds that are of good quality and are free and will remain free to save, use and exchange could become important future assets. 

Kindly contact wdouma at hivos.org ; bkiome at hivos.org or echitechi at kcic.org for more information before 10th April 2018 .
