Participatory plant breeding impact as part of the local agroinnovation by diffussing genetic diversity in agricultural sectors of Pinar del Río
Main Article Content
Abstract
in 17 farms from La Palma municipality, over the areas involved
by Participatory Plant Breeding (PPB) project. The study was
aimed at analyzing how much the municipal agriculture
ecosystem has been improved by introducing diversity.
Margalef´s specific diversity and Shannon-Weiner�??s specific
richness indexes were calculated, besides considering three
stages: previous to PPB, after PPB, and when implementing
the Local Agricultural Innovation Program (PIAL). Results
showed that diversity has increased with time, mainly regarding
grain, garden and vegetable groups; farmers adopt diversity
according to their own interests, ecosystems are still ready for
adopting new species and varieties, also the diversity
introduced has led to ecosystem stability.
