Woke up to a sunny morning in contrast to the grey mornings of the past week so we were able to pick all the maize seed that was ready. Look closely at the seeds on the cob in the picture. They are all different colours which shows that the plants will have a great genetic diversity. This means that whatever happens to the weather and other conditions some of the plants will survive and grow food.
More seed diversity = more resilience in the plants = more food security. That's what we have in our hands when we pick up a maize cob as in the picture.
