International seminar on environmental friendly food production system: requirements of plant breeding and seed production

In May/June 2005 the Sixth Framework Programme project ENVIRFOOD conducted a four-day seminar on Environmental friendly food production system: requirements for plant breeding and seed production. The seminar was held in Talsi, Latvia.

One of the objectives is to assemble cereals research expertise in order to work out a scientific program for collaboration in plant breeding, variety testing and seed production for organic and low-input agriculture in the Baltic countries.

In the course of the seminar five publications have been published:

• Declaration of the international seminar on environmental friendly food production system: requirements plant breeding and seed production (PDF)
  
  
• Plant breeding for organic farming: current status and problems in Europe (PDF)
  
  
• Variety testing for organic farming: current status and problems in Europe (PDF)
  
  
• Organic seed propagation: current status and problems in Europe (PDF)
  
  
• Analytic observations of seminar scientific work according toward objectives (PDF)
