................you can enhance seed security through the FAO's crop calender. The Crop Calendar is a tool that provides timely information about
seeds to promote local crop production. It contains information on
planting, sowing and harvesting periods of locally adapted crops in
specific agro-ecological zones. It also provides information on the
sowing rates of seed and planting material and the main agricultural
practices.
This tool supports farmers and agriculture extentionists across the
world in taking appropriate decisions on crops and their sowing period,
respecting the agro-ecological dimension. It also provides a solid base
for emergency planning of the rehabilitation of farming systems after
disasters.
The
Crop Calendar provides information for more that 130 crops, located in 283 agro-ecological zones of 44 countries.
