Summary
The use of Organic Heterogeneous Material (OHM) for organic wheat cultivation shows a number of benefits for breeders, farmers, processors and consumers. The stakeholders of the case study value chain working with OHM cultivars and researchers see a great potential of OHM cultivars for marginal farming areas and organic farming. The absence of IPRs is a great chance for seed sovereignty and independence of the whole value chain. Agrobiodiversity can be strengthened with the use of OHM.
