Climate love
Grass seed banks are small parts of communal land that are used for the production of grasses and grass seeds.
The grass seed banks are managed and maintained by Maasai women groups. Once the grasses are fully grown, they produce grass seeds which are sold by the women on local markets or to other regreening projects. The aim of the seed banks is to improve economic opportunities for local communities while restoring degraded landscapes.
Besides an extra income for the women and more green in the dry areas, it helps to maintain indigenous rangeland grasses which are often neglected and underdeveloped in terms of market and conservation.
BENEFITS OF GRASS SEED BANKS
1: For the women - Selling the grasses and the grass seeds harvested from the grass seed banks generates a source of income for the women who are managing the grass seed banks serving as an alternative livelihood helping the women to pay for school fees, health care and support their families.
2: On the environment - The grasses grown in the grass seed banks attract insects and other small animals which stimulates the recovery of the ecosystem and supports vegetation in the surrounding to start to grow as well.
