Citation

van Zonneveld M (2020). Worldveg seedkit distribution of traditional vegetables in East Africa. Version 1.10. World Vegetable Center. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/z68fn4 accessed via GBIF.org on 2022-07-01.

Description

This dataset provides information about 42 thousand seed kits for home gardens containing over 183 thousand vegetable seed samples from 2013 to 2017, which were distributed to smallholder farmers in Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda by World Vegetable Center and its partners.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda

Sampling

These were one-time distributions of seed kits to farmers.

Method steps

  1. Accessions and breeding lines, which were selected for the vegetable seed kits were tested under local conditions for yield, disease resistance, and consumer preference. The distributed lines were open-pollinated so that farmers could save seed. Seed kits were distributed in combination with capacity development in vegetable growing and seed saving.
