Abstract

Community seed vaults have been established in Zimbabwe to safeguard local agricultural biodiversity against climate change impacts. Survival rates were calculated using a logistic regression model with robust standard errors to account for environmental variability and seed viability differences. A proportion of 85% of seeds survived harsh conditions, indicating high programme efficacy in maintaining genetic diversity. The replication study confirms the initial findings on climate change resilience programmes' success in Zimbabwe's rural communities. Further research should explore long-term storage effects and community engagement dynamics in seed vault management. Community Seed Vaults, Climate Change Resilience, Logistic Regression, Zimbabwe Model estimation used $\hat{\theta}=argmin_{\theta}\sum_i\ell(y_i,f_\theta(x_i))+\lambda\lVert\theta\rVert_2^2$, with performance evaluated using out-of-sample error.
