Summary

Central in this research stood the opinion of organic farmers on breedingmethods for organic farming. Although farmers generally concluded that there is a need for organic breeding practices and from that point of view rejected the use of artifial embryo reproduction technologies, there was no consensus on which selection strategies best fit organic principles. In general realizing distinct organic breeding practices will take time and will require institutional changes.
