Building on earlier research

Building on 12 years of Professor Kochupillai's research, ReSeed combines mixed-methods research with farmers and other stakeholders to co-design technical features and incentive mechanisms that address regulatory deadlocks in international law.

The project promotes in-situ conservation, agrobiodiversity research and innovation, recognizes and rewards Indigenous Seed Knowledge, and seeks to generate economic and environmental benefits for smallholder farmers.
