“…This breeding approach has produced many successful pedigree line varieties for high-input production systems. However, low input and organic agriculture has suffered from a lack of varieties adapted to the environmental variability on farms (Wolfe et al, 2008;Lammerts van Bueren et al, 2010;Chable et al, 2014). In organic or low input conditions, the variability of the environment often has a more pronounced influence on crop yield than in conventional conditions (Wolfe et al, 2008;Newton et al, 2010), leading to a lack of stability in crop performance (Soliman and Allard, 1991).…”

“…The authors give support to this argument by conducting a qualitative investigation of an initiative in France that has set up a collective breeding program. Another study [20] analyzed participatory plant breeding in France and showed that it is suited to organic farming in France.…”

“…In addition, several current breeding methods do not respect the principles of OA. Participatory plant breeding programs aim to overcome these limitations by initiating collaborations between organic farmers, their organizations, and researchers (Chable et al, 2014). Another approach is using new breeding techniques for rewilding, a process involving the reintroduction of properties from the wild relatives of crops, as a method to close the productivity gap between conventional and organic farming practices (Andersen et al, 2015).…”

“…The wide diversity among organic farming systems and among individual farms, in particular, requires a fine-grained adaptation of the crop plants (and animals) used on individual farms (Wolfe et al, 2008). The lack of seeds and varieties suited to OA has been an issue for a long time (Chable et al, 2014). In addition, several current breeding methods do not respect the principles of OA.…”
