What is the immediate impact of Chilean seed guardian groups on agricultural biodiversity and food security?

In Chile, groups like Chileflora (cataloging 241 seed varieties and 2,202 plants) and Semilla Austral (40 farming families) are actively preserving and distributing native seeds, aiming to combat the loss of agricultural biodiversity and reduce reliance on foreign seeds. Semilla Austral, exporting seeds since 2020, uses traditional and modern techniques to manage the entire seed lifecycle.
