Introduced by civil society organisations, seed and food fairs are a regular feature on the calendars of farmers working with the Biodiversity Conservation Initiative (BCI) in northern Malawi. Frequently held on the premises of a community seed bank (CSB), these events provide a space for smallholder farmers to display the diversity of crops, fruits, and vegetables they grow, alongside wild harvested edible and medicinal species.
