Abstract

The concept of participatory seed dissemination
(PSD) appeared in Cuba after integrating seed diversity fairs
and farmers´ seed experimentation and dissemination. Seed
diversity fair is a method by which plant breeders, growers
and extension agents have access to one or more crop
diversity. Both, formal and informal system varieties are
seeded through the current management of the target
environment. Thus, all farmers participating in this practice
select seeds and test them in their production systems, to be
further multiplied and diffused to the other farmers. This work
describes PSD results in the productive, environmental and
socioeconomic terms of Cuba and México.
