Our seed bank is managed by and for local farmers, ensuring that initiatives are relevant, responsive, and deeply rooted in community needs and traditional knowledge.
We actively collect, preserve, and promote traditional and climate-resilient crop varieties, preventing genetic erosion and enriching Bangladesh's agrobiodiversity.
Beyond seeds, we advocate for and support sustainable, ecological farming practices that nurture the soil, protect the environment, and ensure long-term food security.
Our Mission
To establish a network of germplasm traceable community seed banks across Bangladesh, ensuring that every farmer has access to diverse, high-quality, locally adapted seeds, thereby enhancing food security, climate resilience, and the economic well-being of rural communities while preserving our precious agricultural heritage for generations to come.
Our Germplasm Traceability System
We believe in transparency and the power of documented history. Our innovative traceability system meticulously records the journey of every seed, from its origin in a farmer's field to its conservation in our bank, ensuring authenticity and protecting traditional knowledge.

Each seed accession is precisely logged with its geographical origin, collection date, and the name of the custodian farmer, honoring their contribution and knowledge.
We record morphological traits, agronomic performance (e.g., yield, disease resistance), and environmental adaptations specific to each variety, adding scientific value.
Crucially, we document the stories, cultural significance, traditional uses, and indigenous farming practices associated with each unique germplasm, keeping heritage alive.
