Organic crop production is an agricultural system gathering evidence regarding its sustainability at different scales, and an increased demand of organically produced crops is evident; both factors are incentives to invest into developing cultivars for organic farming. At the same time, the projection of breeding to enhance sustainable crop production is even more inspiring for the developing countries, where we expect that the contribution of crop improvement to better crop sustainability is at least as important, or even more so than in the developed world, which should go hand-in-hand with improvements in agronomic practices. High-input crop production has raised yields significantly but at the same time led to problematical side effects due to high amounts of mineral fertilizer or manure applied, reliance on a small number of large acreage crops, and risks associated with chemical crop protection. Crop improvement explicitly targeting sustainable agriculture practices for selection with farm to table participatory perspectives are critical to achieving long-term sustainable crop production, for which an example is outlined by Sandro et al. ([18]), who describe a scenario for organic winter wheat breeding. [Extracted from the article] |
