Farmer Varietal Selection

Farmer Varietal Selection is a decision-making process in which farmers systematically evaluate and retain plant varieties based on locally relevant agronomic, ecological, and socio-cultural criteria, distinguishing it from formal breeding or market-driven varietal adoption by its reliance on indigenous knowledge and on-farm experimentation.
