| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigates the current state of organizations engaged in local seed conservation activities in China and other East Asian countries. By interviewing farmers, governmental organizations, seed companies and NPOs in each country, the trends of seed conservation systems were examined. The results showed that (1) in China, it would be difficult for farmers to continue seed conservation in the same farmland, (2) the NPOs in Japan were continuously engaging in these activities on national, regional and local scale, (3) the big peasant group in Korea played an important role for conserving local seeds, (4) activities of NPOs (non-profit organizations) in Taiwan engaging in these activities began relatively recently.
