Why agronomy in the developing world has become contentious (2013, background): “(Okali et al., 1994; Thompson and Scoones, 1994), although there have been sustained efforts to develop more inclusive approaches to crop improvement through ‘participatory plant breeding’ (Almekinders and Elings, 2001; Sperling et al., 2001).”
Research, part of a Special Feature on Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Global Environmental Change Biocultural Refugia: Combating the Erosion of Diversity in Landscapes of Food Production (2013, background): “TEK of how to raise particular plants co-emerged with the evolution of agro-biodiversity in particular geographical areas (Dahlberg 1993, Almekinders and Elings 2001) and is tightly linked to distinct combinations of species and varieties developed through long-term tinkering with environmental…”
Defining and identifying crop landraces (2005, background): “Here the decision over whether the former landrace may still be regarded as a landrace will, as described by Almekinders and Elings (2001), depend on the degree of breeding and the quantity of external germplasm introgressed with the original landrace, the more of either the less the entity could…”
Participatory plant breeding research: Opportunities and challenges for the international crop improvement system (2004, background): “Proponents believe that PPB methods show great promise for making varietal development efforts more responsive to the needs of technology users, particularly members of poor rural households that are not well integrated into the market economy ( Almekinders & Elings, 2001; Sperling et al., 2001).”
Integrated Seed Sector Development in Africa: A Conceptual Framework for Creating Coherence Between Practices, Programs, and Policies (2012, background): “● An increasing number of international and national breeding programs involve farmers in various stages of the breeding cycle (Witcombe et al. 1996; Almekinders & Elings 2001; Ceccarelli, Guimarães, & Weltzien 2009), with further implications for varietal release (Witcombe & Virk 1997), as well as…”
