  • Innovation in sustainable farming.
  • Seed security and breeding rights.
  • Processing and marketing of indigenous and traditional foods.
  • Organic production and marketing.

Case studies will be presented as posters at the Good Practice Exhibition. Following the Indaba, an interactive Good Practice database will be developed for use by farmers, extension staff and other development practitioners.
