A field guide to participatory methods for sourcing new crop diversity.
Much of the worlds' annual harvest loss to pests and diseases occurs as a consequence of crops grown in monocultures, or crop varieties with uniform resistance. This uniform resistance is met by the continuing evolution of new races of pests and pathogens that are able to overcome resistance gene...
