This SeedsGROW Final Report provides a comprehensive overview of the SeedsGROW programme’s achievements, lessons, and future direction as implemented by Oxfam in close collaboration with a diverse and inspirational network of partners and allies at a local, national and global level. The report highlights the programme’s multifaceted efforts to address global food security, seed diversity, climate resilience, and equitable food systems over the past five years.

SEEDS, also known as Sowing Diversity=Harvesting Security (SD=HS), made significant strides in strengthening farmer-managed seed systems. Its key achievements include the establishment of 982 Farmer Field Schools (FFSs), reaching over 38,000 farmers with an average of 60% women participation. These schools have facilitated the development of climate-resilient crop varieties through participatory plant breeding (PPB) processes.

SeedsGROW has been a hallmark programme for Oxfam, spearheading a new narrative, offering sound, tested solutions, and establishing an engaged, world-wide activist network of farmers, civil society, and the public towards global food security, climate resilience, and equitable food systems. Through collaborative and inclusive approaches, influencing public and private policies, strengthening community seed systems, and investing in networks and alliances, the programme has set a strong foundation for sustainability and future efforts in these critical areas.
