The LiveSeeding project offers a training package on cultivar evaluation methods and on the regulatory frameworks for organic varieties (OV) and organic heterogeneous material (OHM).
The modules build on the EU Organic Regulation 2018/848, which highlights that, under conditions of limited external inputs, cultivar choice and testing become crucial for organic farming. The training focuses on evaluation models and practices that work under real-life organic farming conditions and respond to the diversity needs of organic systems.
The training is organised into five modules (Modules 6 – 10), which continue the first five training modules on organic breeding developed in WP1. Each module has a common training outline (scope, learning objectives, target audience, methods, materials and assessment) and is supported by lecture slides, video recordings, webinars, case studies, exercises and online quizzes.
This training module is self-paced. More info.
Target groups
Farmers and advisers, breeders and seed companies working under organic conditions, researchers and students, regulatory authorities.
