Abstract
This chapter provides a synopsis of the key findings of the study. It suggests that transformationalism is a useful framework for assessing changes in seed practices in sub-Saharan Africa and argues that hyperglobalist seed laws and practices can be avoided if there is sufficient political will. It ends with a call for decisive action to generate more equitable outcomes in the seed space. It identifies four areas for immediate action: (1) The revision of international seed law and policies; (2) the evaluation of all existing and proposed domestic seed laws and policies; (3) the expansion of community seed banks; and (4) the development of evolutionary breeding systems that will generate genetic variability that could become central to national programmes for future-proofing for climate change.
