A strong organic plant breeding is the basis for the future development of the organic agriculture sector. Currently, only a very small fraction of the used varieties of the organic agriculture is derived from organic plant breeding. One of the major reasons for this is the financial lack of organic plant breeders. Thus, the project "Support for organic plant breeding research" supports organic plant breeders for the application of publically funded projects for plant breeding research in order to improve knowledge transfer between breeders and researchers and the financial basis for organic plant breeding. This will be achieved mainly by the following activities:
Ökozüchter in Deutschland:
Ökozüchter in der Schweiz:
Anbauverbände:
Lobby Gruppen:
Project coordination and implementation
