9. Budget Allocation for Pilots on different crops. ral
1 Introduction
Rainfed agriculture contributes to 40% of total food grains (90% of minor millets &
87% of coarse cereals) and is the base for India's nutritional security. More than 600
Public institutions and 400 private seed companies’ together serve seed needs
related to 12 major field crops and 11 major vegetable crops in the country. But more
than 50 crops are grown in mixed farming in rainfed areas without any formal seed
systems.
More than 40,000 landraces or farmer varieties are documented over thousands of
years by Indian farming communities in rice alone. It is estimated that many more
landraces have been lost. NBPGR has collected more than 4.3 lakh accessions of
about 1500 crop species collected mostly from farmers’ fields. Similar situation is
also true for other crops. Out of the seed demand of 86 million ha of rainfed area, 40
to 60% of total seed demand is met from farm saved seeds.
Out of 3,000 high-yielding varieties/nybrids of field crops have been developed from
1950s to 2014, 1000 varieties belong to rice alone. But of these enormous diversities,
DAFP-SPIIl-OSSC-0005.2020/01/2022fewer than 40 varieties often occupy most of the rice area under cultivation. The large
agrodiversity of landraces and farmer varieties that provided a basis for the above
developments is now fast eroding, threatening the future development,
Vanishing biodiversity is also hampering our potential 10 hamess organic farming
Initiatives. This is especially true in case of organic farming, where one needs
varieties which are less responsive to chemical inputs. Hence even though largest
number of organic farmers in the world are in India, India occupies 9th position on
the organic production.
The two national acts viz., Biological Diversity Act 2002 and PPVFRA, 2001 recognise
the rights of communities and farmers. While it is important to ensure that farmers’
varieties are registered to prevent bio-piracy, it is equally important to ensure that the
same varieties remain ‘open source’ without anyone claiming exclusive rights,
Farmers’ varieties were always “open source’ in the Indian agricultural system
2. Context
Landraces are ecotypes cultivated for a long time in their pristine habitats. Farmers
have selected them for traits based on their ecological suitability, cooking habits and
Consumption habits. The traits that characterize such landraces express often only in
their adaption sites and may not express fully in other sites, Hence, landraces are
very location specific,
Experiences emerged from Participatory varietal trials under ‘Odisha Millet Mission
(OMMy' have shown that some of the millet landraces under cultivation are
Performing better than the released varieties under different agronomic practices.
Several such landraces are in demand, but not easily accessible to farmers. This is
due to lack of suitable seed systems for landraces. The formal seed systems only
cater to notified varieties and is not suitable for landraces.
DAFP-SPIII-OSSC-0005-2020/01/2022Realizing this need, Department of Agriculture & Farmers’ Empowerment,
Government of Odisha formed a Working group on Seeds under Odisha Millets
Mission to create enabling framework for landraces managed by community
institutions. Accordingly, Working Group on Seeds under Odisha Millets Mission
evolved this SOPs for seed systems for landraces. This document was developed
under chairmanship of Dr K Varaprasad, Former Director, ICAR-IIOR in consultation
with ICAR-IIMR, QUAT, CPR-Berhampur, OSSC, NCDS, RRA Network and WASSAN.
Though this SOP for Seed Systems for Landraces is developed for millets, this
framework is suitable for all the crops including horticulture. Necessary experts and
farmers with experiences in landraces of different crops may be involved to
contextualise this SOP for seed systems for other crops.
3. Process of Landrace Documentation Release & Production
Following are the key process steps involved in the development of seed system for
landraces.
1. Landrace Documentation and Characterization
3.1.1 Crops Diversity Blocks (CDBs): CDBs may be identified within a district /
biodiversity hotspot at sub-district level which may form a unit area for operation.
Conservation, characterization, purification, and multiplication can be taken up at
CDBs. Business lines for indigenous seed sale in both formal and informal chain may
be taken up by community seed centers anchored by WSHGs/FPOs. A larger
exercise in project mode to cover all agro-biodiversity blacks of Odisha shall be
taken up at one time, including activities identifying other actors and setting up
DAFP-SPIII-OSSC-0005-2020/01/2022institutional mechanisms. It is critical to set up and support mechanisms for
collection of landraces, seed production, primary multiplication and conservation
Samples shall be stored at SSTL/National Gene Banks for scientific conservation,
characterization, purification, and multiplication,
312 Seed Melas / Fairs: Seed Melas will be organized in the Agro-biodiversity
hotspots preferably at GP or block level with objectives of collecting passport data of
landraces. Farmers, seed conservators, community, institutions
(WSHGs/FPOs/BMCs) shall be mobilized to share their traditional wisdom and
germplasm. Collected materials shall be registered in the name of the community.
This will be supported by District ATMA. Passport data of the material collected with
traits of value in use and cultivation will be compiled into the Digital Platform and
compared with the information compiled under earlier exercises.
3.1.3 Material Transfer Agreements with Technical Institutions: A exercise shall be
initiated with ICAR, SAU, CGIAR, UN and other technical institutions where genetic
material of different crops of Odisha are available. Partnership shall be explored to
receive the sample of original germplasm for sustainable use in Odisha through
community managed seed banks.
3.14 Community Seed Centres: Community institutions such as FPOs/ WSHGs/
farmer collectives shall anchor community seed centres which will implement CDB
activities. A community seed banks with its infrastructure, equipment, other facilities,
operational guidelines with sustainability and basic human resource needs to be
defined, All the landraces identified in the Block during the exploration are conserved
with proper documentation, displayed for observation and small quantities of seed
are made available for registered seed conservers for their use at CSC. Community
Seed Center shall select seed producers based on the criteria having assured
irrigation, productive land for taking up seed production. CSCs may undertake
registration under PPFVRA of the germplasm collected under the CDBs.3.2 The Processes of Varietal Release For Landraces
3.2.1 Standardizing Landraces Documentation Characters: A comprehensive and
feasible trait set of minimal descriptors for characterization of native germplasm shall
be evolved in consultation with PPFVRA, ICAR, OUAT, CSOs, Community institutions
and custodian farmers. Crops with considerable landrace diversity and coverage
shall be given priority. An expert sub-committee shall be constituted to finalize
descriptors for native germplasm. These also will form the basis for characterization
and developing the digital repository.
3.2.2 Landraces Varietal Evaluation: A minimum of two years and 3 locations data
along with farmer demonstrations’ data from about 10 farmers shall be considered
for landraces varietal release. Yield, pest resistance, nutritional value, climate
resilience, minimal chemical input shall be considered in addition to and quality traits
tor evaluation. Yield performance over the standard checks need not be a mandatory
criterion for release of landrace varieties. The process will also look at the value in
use and cultivation as observed by the farmers while collecting the passport data
Participatory varietal selection process shall be adopted in identifying suitable
landraces for production.
3.2.3 Crop / Seed Standards and Certification Guidelines: An expert sub-committee
shall be constituted to finalise field and Seed standards for native landraces. These
shall be evolved in consultation with PPFVRA, ICAR, OUAT, CSOs, Community
institutions and custodian farmers. Based on the Field / Seed Standards developed,
certification guidelines will be developed for source/ foundation seed, certified seed
and truthfully labelled seed by the OSSCPCA. Seed Certification will mandatory when
landraces are to be released under formal subsidized seed chain. For sale in private
markets and exchange between the communities, this will not be required
3.2.4 Package of Practices: Detailed package of practices be recorded during the
DAFP-SPIII-OSSC-0005-2020/01/2022evaluation period and submitted at the time of variety proposal for approval - a
detailed note and format will be circulated.
3.25 Landraces Variety Name, Release and Notification: Original landrace name be
retained as far as possible at least with a prefix or suffix, if required. However, original
identity with its location be recorded as an alternate identity. A landrace may be
released as a variety and only after two years of its release it can be applied for
notification. The two years gap between the release of a variety and notification will
help in making large number of landraces available for cultivation and, only such
varieties that need large seed multiplication and spread can be notified. Apex
Committee may facilitate national level release of landraces from Odisha that have
potential and demand beyond the state boundaries.
3.3 Quality Seed Production
3.3.1 Quality Seed production of native germplasm: Financial Support for quality seed
production of native germplasm through CSCs through CDBs for a period of 5 years.
At least for the first 3 years facilitation costs of a CSO would need to be supported
This support should be provided for different aspects of seed value chain such as
infrastructure, working capital, capacity building of farmers and other local
stakeholders, so on so forth, Seed production shall be taken up based on the
System of seed demand generation. Process of seed demand generation shall be
arranged by the farmers’ organisations in collaboration with the district ATMA
officials. Indent should be received at least one month before sowing for seed
production. This may be taken up in the blocks of OMM, SPPIF, Natural farming and
other special programs. Based on the experiences, this can be later scaled up to
other regions,
33.2 Seed Certification: Seed certification shall be taken up by OSSOPCA as per
standards approved by Apex committee. Block level Para Seed Certifiers for quality
DAFP-SPIII-OSSC-0005-2020/01/2022assessment shall be trained by OSSOPCA for this purpose. OSSOPCA shall also train
the Community institutions on process to ensure seed quality is maintained. The CSC
will form a Quality Assurance Committee to provide oversight on the seed production
and compliance with the norms. A trained para-seed certifier identified by the Seed
Center will make field visits to ensure compliances and to support to the seed
producing farmers in technicalities. All the documentation required will be
maintained at the seed producer and at the CSC compliances shall be met. The
OSSOCPA will identify and reward the best CSB annually and extend all the support
to inspire and train such other CSBs in the Block and the seed conservers registered
there. It may even encourage biodiversity conservation by organizing annual seed
melas for the conservers.
3.33 Procurement and Marketing of Seeds: The CDBs and the associated seed
production is anchored by a farmers’ organization with interest on establishing a
business line on quality seed supply of landraces, Price fixation needs to be lett to be
decided by the organization based on the costs involved in multiplication and other
factors. Proper records of seed production, procurement, stocks etc., need to be
maintained by the organization. The basic norms of seed procurement from
registered seed centers and the processing, packing and labelling guidelines for
each crop will be followed as per rules for seed standards approved by the Apex
committee.
In addition, Traits of value may be verified based on nutritional, climate resilience,
organoleptic properties etc. which should be included in all awareness meetings. A
brand building plan may be developed for landraces to enhance demand. Priority be
given for marketing strategies and branding focusing on livelihoods, food and
nutritional security. Budgetary support shall be made for this purpose.
3.3.4 Maintenance Breeding: System of maintenance of variety retaining the key traits
shall be recommended by a subcommittee. Standards of isolation distances or
times, rouging and the process of certification of maintaining foundation seed shall
DAFP-SPIIl-OSSC-0005-202010112022he approved for each variety at the time of release. The Gene Bank at SSTL will have
the responsibility for developing and disseminating such proto- cols.
4, Digital Seed Open Platform
A state level Open-Source Digital Seed Platform for Landraces will be established.
This will be hosted by the Gene Bank of SSTL. The digital platform will provide easy
access to data on landraces seed accessions with the CSCs and SSTL. It will also
have provisions for connecting the seed savers and to enable seed exchange. The
community seed centers will be profiled in the platform giving them visibility and
connectedness.
5, Capacity Building
A system for building capacities of all the multiple stakeholders and actors in the
Community Managed Seed System for Landraces will be established and
adequately provisioned with budgets for the initial 5 years to develop training
modules, communication material and training, Review of the training material for
revision be considered on every two years. Focus will be on preparation of
conservation and seed certification and seed production manuals, varietal release
manual, seed centre management, PPFVRA registration, so on so forth.6. Risk Mitigation
Farmers’ decision on choice of crops and varieties changes quickly with respect to
emerging weather and market scenarios. Even after well-defined indents and seed
demand estimation, there could be circumstances where the farmers’ organisations
will be left with unsold stock. To mitigate this risk, a risk mitigation fund may be
created at the ATMA level. In the event of excess supply, the farmers’ organization
may choose to sell the produce at grain price in the market and a 25% of the price of
seed sold in such circumstances may be compensated by the risk fund for the
volume certified. This mechanism can be for a period of initial 5 years till the time to
the supply chain is firmly established,
