Summary Annotation The purpose of this book is to examine the nature of and relationship between the knowledge of farmers and of scientists, and how these can be best integrated in plant breeding. In the past, farmers' knowledge of local biodiversity has often been underutilized, but currently there is anincreased recognition of the importance of farmer participation or collaboration. The book addresses three issues: o What is the nature of plant breeding knowledge, in theory and practice? o In what ways are farmers' and plant breeders' knowledge similar or different? o What are the implications forsuccessful plant breeding initiatives?
