Development of Local Seed Banks and Food Security

Abstract

The objectives of this research paper are to (1) study the problems and impacts of farmers from growing genetically modified crops, (2) promote the collection and conservation of indigenous seeds, (3) establish a bank for the conservation of indigenous seeds and create food security at the community level. The study method was used as follows: (1) Survey information, meet, brainstorm, and analyze problems with the community. (2) Organize activities to promote the conservation of local seeds. Use mind mapping techniques. participation Seed sorting together with farmers in the community (3) Planning with AIC techniques for knowledge creation, development guidelines and creation of best practices. The results revealed the following 1) The reason why farmers decide to plant genetically edited crops is that traditional seed collection is complicated. Lack of seed protection knowledge and need comfort. The problem and impact are that the seeds of local plants are lost over time. Increase the cost of cultivation Strengths: Have your own arable land Weaknesses: Lack of knowledge of seed protection methods and modern technology Opportunities: Alternative agriculture, healthy agriculture Obstacle: Abandonment of agricultural careers Fraudulent information from online media and debt burden. 2) Promote the collection and conservation of seeds of indigenous plants. (1) Conservation of local seeds by inviting local farmers to pay attention to preserving traditional seeds from being lost, (2) Storing rice seeds through the Boon Khun Lan Tradition to store rice seeds. By driving activities through the Boon Khun Lan Tradition, or “Boon Goom Khaw Yai”. 3) Establish a bank to conserve local seeds and create food security at the community level by using the “AIC technique” to help design and analyze development guidelines. This makes the community self-reliant. There are seeds without wasting the budget. Prevent mutations from genetic editing of capitalists.
