Seed producers? performance in resource management, governance, and marketing strategies indicates current benefits, whereas soil conservation and risk-management practices provide the basis for future benefits. Community seed production is a local-level seed management system owned by farmers. This system provides the institutional mechanism to supply diversified seed demands of open-pollinated varieties of food crops in a cost-effective way in rural regions. Being able to address the concerns of food insecurity, poverty, climate stress, and biodiversity loss in programs and policies of development agencies, community seed production is gaining popularity among the farmers and the policy makers in developing countries. This book discusses the issues of organizational governance of the community seed producers? groups and links them with household-level benefits to understand the organizational dynamism and the probable development paths of such organizations in the future. It also highlights the necessity to institutionalize lessons learned in community seed production in the stakeholders? programs and policies. These understandings provide a basis for formulating policies for strengthening the system in developing countries. Students, researchers, policy makers, and donor agencies working with CSP in the developing world will find this book useful in broadening their understanding of CSP in general and its sustainability in particular. 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aAgricultural economics 606 $aSoil science 606 $aSoil conservation 606 $aMicroeconomics 606 $aAgriculture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aAgricultural Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W47000 606 $aSoil Science & Conservation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U28000 606 $aMicroeconomics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W31000 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aAgricultural economics. 615 0$aSoil science. 615 0$aSoil conservation. 615 0$aMicroeconomics. 615 14$aAgriculture. 615 24$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aAgricultural Economics. 615 24$aSoil Science & Conservation. 615 24$aMicroeconomics. 676 $a338.1 676 $a338.5 676 $a338.927 676 $a570 676 $a630 676 $a631.4 700 $aKhanal$b Narayan Prasad$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01064576 702 $aMaharjan$b Keshav Lall$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298279803321 996 $aCommunity Seed Production Sustainability in Rice-Wheat Farming$92539268 997 $aUNINA
