Seed Production and Variety Development for Organic Systems (Summary)
Most of the research to develop seed varieties specifically for organic production is in public and participatory
breeding, and good technical material from such research is increasingly available. The USDA has
also funded workshops to teach farmers the principles of participatory breeding for organics, to increase
the availability of organic seed. In 2005, however, although there are breeding programs underway, no
seed varieties bred specifically for organic production are commercially available.
