PhD Oral Defense of Megan Dilbone, Department of Plant Science

In resource poor farming systems, particularly those subject to environmental stress, agrobiodiversity is an important aspect of local livelihoods, food security, and seed security. Seed security refers to a farmer鈥檚 ability to access and utilize available seed that is of good physiological quality and appropriate for local ecological and social contexts. The objectives of this thesis focus on understanding how access to different types of crops and varieties, through informal and formal seed systems, can contribute to reversing chronic household seed insecurity and support food production in semi-arid Kenya.
