Accessions and breeding lines, which were selected for the vegetable seed kits were tested under local conditions for yield, disease resistance, and consumer preference.
The distributed lines were open-pollinated so that farmers could save seed.
Seed kits were distributed in combination with capacity development in vegetable growing and seed saving.
Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda
These were one-time distributions of seed kits to farmers.
