The workshop papers presented in this volume are focused on four areas: Diagnostics and descriptions of seed systems (Session I); Factors affecting seed systems (Session II); Genetic diversity consequences of seed systems (Session III), and Interventions and scaling up (Session IV). Session I includes papers on Mayan home gardens, maize seed supply systems in a Mayan community of Mexico, and the use and distribution of seeds in areas of traditional agriculture. Session II includes papers on experiences from Nepal; functionality of seed systems in smallholder societies of the Peruvian Amazonia, on-farm seed systems and crop genetic diversity and Multilevel seed movement in Hungary. Session III includes papers on seed systems and genetic diversity in Cuban home gardens, Banana and plantain in Great Lake region, seed exchange and supply sytems in Morocco, on-farm seed system in Ethiopia, traditional management of maize cultivars and community seed supply systems in Central Amazon. Session IV contains papers on informal seed systems and on-farm conservation of genetic diversity, policy development to support the on-farm management of agrobiodiversity, community gene banking in Zimbabwe, seed transmission of Fusarium oxysporum in Ecuador, potato seed systems in the Andes, Seed systems in Morocco, and the dynamics of local seed systems in Mozambique. This report also includes a summary of the discussion sessions and concludes with proposed future directions for seed systems in relation to on-farm conservation of genetic diversity
