Preface
These proceedings summarise several presentations of the ECO-PB
International Workshop on ‘Different models to finance plant
breeding’ which was held in Frankfurt in the Ökohaus KA Eins,
Germany on 27 February 2007. This workshop was organised by the
European Consortium for Organic Plant Breeding ECO-PB (Klaus
Peter Wilbois/D), Association of Biodynamic Plant breeders ABDP
(Karl Josef Müller/D) and the Louis Bolk Instituut (Aart
Osman/NL). Among the participants were farmers, breeders,
researchers and policy makers. Examples of different existing
models and new ideas have been discussed by plenary oral
presentations, because there is a clear need to find ways to
make (organic) plant breeding less costly. These proceedings
show possible scenario’s in building up new relationships
between partners in breeding. ECO-PB will keep on stimulating
the international exchange of such strategies. We thank the
sponsors Triodos Foundation (NL) and the Zukunftsstiftung
Landwirtschaft (D) for supporting this workshop.
