=== Seed fairs === The main purpose of any fair is to provide a specialised market place where not only traders display their products and buyers come to purchase, but it is specialised since it normally deals in one sector, examples are Building Fairs and Agricultural Fairs. A seed fair is as the name suggests, a fair specialising in seed and is normally organised at a local or village level. The objectives of Seed Fairs include:<br> * Creating awareness amongst farmers, researchers, extensionists and district planners of additional alternative seeds and planting material from research station and about seed from farmers' own sources.<br> * Enabling local, extensionists and farmer seed experts who do not normally meet to do so and exchange knowledge and experiences on the old and new crops that they grow.<br> * To create working contacts between farmers, extensionists and researchers which will continue to exist and develop independent of outside facilitators.<br> * Create opportunities for seed exchanges or arrange future exchanges.<br> * Enable disaster affected farmers to access crops/varieties in quantites of their choice.<br> * Instil confidence among farmers through a healthy and productive competition.<br> * Create market linkages.<br> * Create social interaction.<br>
