she's giving a training session to women farmers in western uganda they say. it's sort of. here she demonstrates another method put parts of a dead banana tree stump in front of the tree you're trying to protect and the weevils will be drawn to that instead. to use because because it did destroy. you know all. organisms that can quickly you spray can cause so it kills microorganism. i invite you to. join has been trained by the organisation alliance biodiversity. the n.g.o.s supports food security projects with evidence based research especially for crops like bananas and beans. some traditional bean varieties can no longer grow here the farmers say it's because of climate change

the ngo has helped them to set up their own cooperative and develop a seed bank which now has more than 60 varieties of beam in stock. from here. if. he or she has. the national seed bank of uganda provided the initial investment of seeds scientists made them available to the ngo. the researchers have given the farmers improved seeds have been varieties. the cross breeding to create these new strands can take several years as scientists gloria tino explains.

so this traditional. treats. the national seed bank estimates that every year uganda is losing around 10 percent of its biodiversity in plants that are important for agriculture and attrition like beans peanuts and wild rice. so if. you kill those crops. you have nothing because we won't be able to use that materials. that you have in the production systems your country going to look after these resources is use a country that is in trouble for the future for. joined has in the meantime set up

her own seed bank for 4 years she's been setting aside part of her harvest for seeds she's employed a number of women to help with the seed selection process she not only pays them but also passes on her beam growing knowledge they get the money from these community. the non from these community and. the farm was the idea of starting up community seed banks is catching on a total of 8 cooperatives in uganda have now joined the initiative. that's all for though we go to these stories as. if you're doing something to protect the environment would love to hear about it you can get in touch with us on our social media channels priscilla signing off from lagos nigeria. thank you create again for another edition of africa next week for me sunday at 3 no go here in
