Integrated Seed Sector Development in Africa: A Conceptual Framework for Creating Coherence Between Practices, Programs, and Policies (2012, background): “2010 ; Jarvis et al. 2011 ), participatory plant breeding ( Almekinders, Thiele, & Danial 2007 ), and seed security and support of on-farm seed production ( Almekinders & Louwaars 1999 ; Latournerie-Moreno et al.”
Integrated Seed Sector Development in Africa: A Basis for Seed Policy and Law (2013, background): “…breeding, using farmers’ knowledge and capacities and their local varieties in crop improvement (arrow X; Figure 2), offers opportunities to increase efficiency and effectiveness in breeding for a diversity of farmers’ needs (Almekinders et al. 2007; Bishaw and Turner 2007; Ceccarelli et al. 2009).”
Decentralized selection and participatory approaches in plant breeding for low-input systems (2008, background): “For farmers growing for the commercial market, it is important to also involve processors and end-users in the process, and the development and distribution of varieties through PPB should be linked with market opportunities (Almekinders et al. 2007).”
