Many rural families suffer ‘hungry months’ every year in the dry season, when farmers cannot grow enough to feed their families. Meanwhile, the markets are often flooded with produce during the traditional growing season, meaning low prices for their yield. With improved seed varieties, people can reduce hunger by growing during the dry-season. Dry-season produce also fetches a higher market price, meaning more money for basic essentials like healthcare and education for their children.
