Agroforestry - Organic - ParticipatoryHow To Cluster These Terms In A Plant Breeding Program?

Summary

“Agroforestry”, “Organic” and “Participatory” are 3 keywords not enough affixed and thought together. The challenge is to link them into breeding programs to release AgrOrgForestry-adapted varieties. To be adapted both to Agroforestry and to Organic conditions, a crop variety must present environmental responses traits but also effects traits. Participatory Ecobreeding is the most useful way to breed such variety. The involvement of a great diversity of actors (farmers, processors, consumers, researchers, etc) renew the way to envision agroforestry and organic breeding and to target no more GMO but SMO and even SEMO (Socially and Environmentally Modified Organisms).
