For the past years since the Consultative Group of International Agricultural Research
(CGIAR) Systemwide Initiative on Participatory Research and Gender Analysis (PRGA)
was initiated, guides for impact assessment of PRGA have been developed (Lilja and
Ashby 1999; Johnson et.al., 2000; Lilja and ...
Participatory plant breeding is seen by several scientists as a way to overcome the
limitations of conventional breeding by offering farmers the possibility of deciding
which varieties better suit their needs and conditions without exposing them to any risk.
It exploits the potential gains of bre...

Benefit-cost analysis of participatory breeding program in Syria
In the three villages selected in the project area in the Northern Highlands and described in the 2000 reports, the farmers tested the barley and the lentil lines they selected during 2000.

Village Based Participatory Breeding in the Mountain Slopes of Yemen
Conventional modern plant breeding has been recognized to be more beneficial
to farmers in high potential environments or those who could profitably modify
their environment to suit new cultivars, than to the poorest farmers who could
not afford to make the necessary modifications. As a consequen...

Decentralized participatory plant breeding: a case from Syria
It is widely recognized that conventional plant breeding has been more beneficial
to farmers in high potential environments or those who could profitably modify
their environment to suit new cultivars, than to the poorest farmers who could not
afford to modify their environment through the applic...
Participatory plant breeding exploits the potential gains of breeding for specific adaptation through decentralized selection. This article describes a model of participatory plant breeding in which genetic variability is generated by professional breeders, selection is conducted jointly by breed...
