Eden Seeds donates seeds to TAFEA and DARD Vanuatu

To Everyone at Eden Seeds,

Thank you so much for the generous donation of seeds you made to support the recovery efforts on Tanna Island Vanuatu in the wake of Cyclone Pam.

Your seeds have been delivered to my team at  the TAFEA Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) who then distributed them to villages across West and North Tanna where there was a significant shortfall of seeds distributed by the FAO. Excited by having access to open pollinating varieties, the DARD team has also kept a small number to be planted at the DARD Tanna demonstration plot for seed saving and crop trials.

I am attaching a few pictures of the DARD team and seed beneficiaries - please feel to share them.

Thank you again,

Julia Laidlaw and the TAFEA DARD Team.

 Thanks to everyone else who also supported

Over the last couple of months we were inundated with seed orders for Vanuatu so we'd also like to thank everyone who purchased seeds to donate privately as well.
