N2 - The report Farmer and Community Managed Seed Systems (FCMSS): Inputs for a Nigerian Agenda, outlines a strategic approach to integrating FCMSS into the development of the seed sector in Nigeria. Synthesising insights from stakeholder dialogues, policy discussions, and literature reviews, it highlights the role of FCMSS in ensuring seed security, biodiversity conservation, and the resilience of seed systems. It emphasises four critical roles of FCMSS: variety deployment, biodiversity conservation, seed systems resilience, and food security. The concluding recommendations propose three strategic pathways—Local Seed Business (LSB) development, biodiversity conservation, and resilience-building complementing Nigeria’s National Seed Road Map. By fostering an enabling environment through policy reforms, market-driven approaches, and institutional support, FCMSS can enhance agricultural sustainability and smallholder farmers’ access to quality seed of farmer preferred and improved varieties, contributing to a resilient and diverse seed sector in Nigeria.
