Evolutionary populations: Living gene banks in farmers’ fields in Iran
Efforts to rapidly increase on-farm biodiversity are a matter of urgency in an era of climate change. To do so, farmers need better access to the genetic material of research stations and gene banks. Collaboration with scientists who are willing and able to work together with family farmers is crucial. The Evolutionary Plant Breeding programme in Iran is one example of how this can be done.
