As climate change continues to drastically affect food security around the world, many farmers are in need of new crops and crop varieties that can be grown in the changed environment of their farms. Adaptation options to climate change already exist in genebanks and other farmers’ fields in the ...

The ‘Atlas of crop suitability’ is an essential tool to predict the environment under which an accession or a group of accessions can grow based on the climatic characteristics of the locality in which they were collected. The more information is available on any given accession the more the pred...

Varietal preference is a carefully weighed balance between consumption and production characteristics. Farmers not only select the high yielding varieties but prefer landraces because of their taste, nutritional value and the ability to grow with fewer inputs. Differences in temperatures, rainfal...

Ethiopia is known for having a high diversity of durum wheat landraces. Most farmers in East Shewa’a have been replacing their landraces with modern varieties. These uniformly performing varieties require significant amount of external inputs and have less genetic variability and adaptive capacit...
