The apfel:gut case study – organic breeding through a collaborative approach

Led by the farmers’ organisation ÖON, the German case study apfel:gut specializes in the organic on-farm breeding of pome fruits through a collaborative approach. The active members of the organization, consisting of a diverse group of practitioners, advisors, breeders, and researchers within the organic fruit growing sector, actively engage in breeding activities under conditions with minimal to no pesticide application.
