Abstract

In recent years activities on traditional knowledge about agricultural biodiversity have been carried on in Andalusia. This activity is based on the joint work of farmers, consumers, scientists, and other people interested in the use, conservation, production and exchange of local crop varieties. Participatory Action Research techniques and the new knowledge developed in Agroecology can enhance stakeholder participation in research activities. This local experience can be useful to learn about agricultural biodiversity management through Participatory and Agroecológical Breeding (P&AB).
