Farmers’ seeds
Seeds selected, multiplied and conserved by farmers in their own fields, often from heterogeneous, evolving population varieties that are generally not listed in the Official Catalogue. They contribute to cultivated biodiversity and the local adaptation of crops; their exchange and sale remain governed by seed legislation.
