In Indonesia, the Lembaga Konsumen Yogyakarta/Yogyakarta Consumer Institute shared information and experiences related to the cultivation of moringa, the crafting of eco-enzyme fertiliser, processing of moringa into health and nutritious dishes and learning materials. YCI supplied rural communities with Moringa agricultural materials to kickstart production of the crop, which is undervalued despite its high nutrient content. In Tanzania, Envirocare mapped local seeds and foods, hosting workshops on the value of local food systems. Elders were encouraged to share their knowledge and showcase the array of indigenous seeds, plants, herbs and roots that had beneficial qualities. In Kenya, Participatory Ecological Land Use Management championed indigenous seed varieties and indigenous food production generated through agroecological production. They planted out more than 700 trees and gained a commitment from political leaders to promote agroecology.

In Senegal, the Association for the Defence of the Environment and Consumers worked with women’s groups to develop sites for planting and in India, the Consumer Education and Research Centre worked to raise awareness of the health benefits of millet through a fair in which home chefs shared their millet dishes and recipes, sell millet-based products and were able to network for further business opportunities. The Consumers’ Association of Penang in Malaysia also focused on boosting recognition of farmer seed varieties – and the knowledge and cultural identity associated with them through a seed fair, seed art competitions, a webinar and other advocacy activities.and establishing local cereal varieties and fruit trees.
