Report on enhancing resilience at systems level through breeding for diverse cropping systems

The report will be drafted based on the new breeding methods and codesign approaches for optimised annual crop mixtures with a focus on cereals T321 and for optimised perennial crop mixtures with a focus on grasslegume mixtures T322 and on the agroforestry subtask T323 The chapter on agroforestry to be incorporated in D36 M48 will be i a systematic framework of breeding approaches and methods relevant to agroforestry systems ii a matrix highlighting Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities and Threats of different approaches and stages definition of the breeding goal selection within populations selection between populations variety testing etc in different silvoarable layouts parklands wide alleys narrow alleys etc and iii practical guidelines for the setup of appropriate experimental designs and related data analysis methods
