Organic Plant Breeding

Overview

The LiveSeeding project offers a set of 5 training packages, organized in 25 Modules on organic breeding and organic seed production, including online and on-site sessions. These materials offer a comprehensive perspective on organic breeding knowledge, concepts, strategies, tools and opportunities, adapted to a diverse group of target trainees, from organic farmers to PhD students of different levels (high school, undergraduates and/or MSc students) and scientists, seed producers, organic breeders, and any others involved in the value chain of organic systems with interest in some (or all) of the main issues in organic breeding.
