Proposal of a multi-criteria evaluation in variety testing (D5.2)

To support and drive varietal innovation with varieties adapted to agro-ecological practices and climate change, rules for registration and recommendation are interesting tools. However, it requires to study how to integrate more social and environmental concerns into registration decisions and recommendations. Multicriteria approaches were analysed, with the aim to propose recommendations towards the definition and validation of a social, environmental and economical index in wheat. This document is based on the current experience and knowledge of GEVES. It is a non-exhaustive description of the multicriteria evaluation of wheat varieties in the French registration and recommendation systems and of the work carried out to integrate more environmental concerns. It must be considered as a base for further discussions.
