Pre-breeding for small grain cereals: How to meet future challenges of food supply under a changing climate
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...

There is growing recognition that successful adaptation of agricultural production systems to
changes in climate will depend upon the improved access to, and use of, genetic diversity. In
order to facilitate this adaptation, new forms of interdisciplinary research, new technologies,
novel part...
