Context : The mission was carried out as part of the Germination 3 project " Preservation of agrobiodiversity in the Indian Ocean”. The GERMINATION 3 project, co-financed by the European Union, Région Réunion and Cirad, as part of the INTERREG VI Indian Ocean Program managed by Région Réunion, stands as a key initiative to protect and enhance agricultural plant genetic resources (APGR) in the southwestern Indian Ocean. In a context of climate change and increasing dependence on imports, it is crucial to secure these resources to ensure the resilience of regional agricultural systems. Among the project partners, we collaborate in the Seychelles with the MACCE (Ministry of Agriculture, Climate Change and Environment) to collect and secure the diversity of plants of interest to the Seychelles, such as sweet potatoes, cassava, yams and vanilla. It is then necessary to characterize this diversity (morphologically and/or genetically) for this valorisation and use by farmers and researchers. Main objective : The main objective of the mission was to assist vanilla producers in the Seychelles (Union Estate, La Digue and Mahe farmers): - By participating in the characterization and safeguard of the diversity of cultivated vanilla plants to maintain resilient agricultural systems - By promoting environmentally friendly agricultural practices adapted to local conditions and to global climate changes.
