Abstract
In the last decade, the concept of Participatory Plant Breeding (PPB) has been advocated as a tool that combines the development of adapted varieties with the maintenance of crop genetic diversity in farmers' fields. Concrete experiences show that PPB provides farmers with more food security and opportunities to maintain cultural identity in combination with social benefits in the form of capacity development and organization. These cases indicate that crop genetic diversity is maintained or increased through PPB. However, how the PPB is organized and how diffusion of PPB varieties is influenced by the institutional and environmental context is not yet well understood. Effective support for PPB for conservation and enhancing farmers' livelihoods in the face of climate change is required. Cases from Nicaragua and Honduras are used as central examples.
