Over a period of four years four on-farm rice seed management videos were developed and were showed to 400,000 farmers via facilitated group sessions in four Asian and four African countries, and to an estimated 40 million rural people through television.The videos were produced by the Rural Development Academy (RDA, Bogra, Bangladesh) and the women's NGO TMSS in collaboration with the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI, Philippines) and CAB International (CABI, UK).

Access the videos on YouTube:

1. Spotted Seeds are Diseased Seeds
