Description
Organic Rice Systems require appropriate cultivars, adapted to the specific environments and farming managements used by organic growers. In Northern Italy, Europe’s main rice producing area, a group of organic rice growers, in partnership with Italian NGO Rete Semi Rurali, developed three rice populations (short, medium, and long grain) starting from a collection of more than 200 rice germplasm accessions. The populations have shown promising preliminary results in terms of both agronomic value and consumers’ appreciation. The European Organic Regulation (EU) 2018/848 which allows the marketing of seed from Organic Heterogenous Material, is paving the way for the development of diversity-based seed systems and value chains in the organic rice sector.
