Summary
The ‘OnFarmFinland’ project has resulted in a web-based information service
containing knowledge of Finnish landraces and old commercial varieties of some
agri- and horticultural plants. In the first phase, knowledge of cereals and
potatoes is provided. The ‘Landrace Information Service’ (MaatiaisTietoPankki
2011) is part of the web-site of the national PGR programme in Finland at the
portal of MTT Agrifood Research Finland. The information service is targeted for
present landrace farmers, hobby-gardeners, agrarian museums and other
organizations, and private persons interested. The information is expected to be
useful in restoring historical gardens and fields, in building demonstration
gardens, in education uses, in development of niche products, and in general in
enhancement of the awareness of landraces among the general public.
