📢 Agrobiodiversity is essential for sustainable organic farming and adapting to climate challenges. This includes: 🌱 A wide range of crops 🌾 Varieties of those crops 🧬 Genetic diversity within populations, like Organic Heterogeneous Material (OHM). The new regulation on plant reproductive material for marketing of seed must not only safeguard seed quality, but also embrace all levels of diversity for our organic food crops, to promote resilience and sustainability. 🌍 #ChangeSeedGrowDifference #OrganicHeterogeneousMaterial #OHM #OrganicBreeding #PlantReproductiveMaterial #PRM Research Institute of Organic Agriculture FiBL
