Seeds of Life Timor's photostream

Seeds of Life (SoL) aims to improve food security in East Timor.

We aim to achieve this by releasing improved staple food crop varieties, primarily maize, rice, sweet potato, cassava and peanuts, and producing seed of those varieties so that farmers across East Timor can produce more food.

Seeds of Life is a program within the East Timor Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MAF). We are funded collaboratively by MAF and the Australian Government, through the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) and the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR). The Centre for Legumes in Mediterranean Agriculture (CLIMA) within The University of Western Australia (UWA) is commissioned to coordinate our Australian-funded activities.
