Seeds of Transformative Resilience
A seed is a local or regional initiative already being implemented but not yet mainstream that strengthens community resilience and has the potential to drive transformative change. These initiatives offer practical examples of how more sustainable and peaceful futures can emerge through new ways of thinking, social movements, institutions or technologies. Seeds have transformative potential when they support learning and systems understanding, foster collaboration, are backed by resources, fit their context and help shift power structures and norms.
Under this programme we are working with two projects: Seeds of Resilient Food Systems, which applies the seeds framework to selected Resilient Agriculture Innovations for Nature (RAIN) projects, and Seeds of Peace and Stability, which explores how seeds of resilience contribute to sustainable peace in fragile contexts.
Innovation Challenge grantees have the option to participate in this research project, which involves a series of interviews and surveys. These were analysed to develop a document that details and explains their efforts while also exploring their transformative potential.
