Samenvatting: | The production of organic vegetables suffers from the lack of availability of seeds suitable for cultivation. The research aims to know the origin of the seeds of vegetables grown in the world, in Brazil and next to the Association for the Development of Organic Agriculture of Goiás (ADAO). The behavior of the countries of Europe, Argentina, Chile, Japan and the United States were studied through a bibliographic review, which focused on the organic legislation and its requirements related to the use of the seed. In Brazil, organic production and research initiatives were studied through bibliographic review and interviews. Also through interviews conducted from April to December 2017, the main difficulties faced by ADAO farmers in producing and using organic vegetable seeds were studied. International legislation, because it originates in the same documents, resembles the requirements for seeds. Europe stands out because it has not allowed the use of conventional seeds since 2013. Brazilian research institutions, companies and associations that work with organic seeds of vegetables sell few seeds, but contribute to the development of the sector, stimulating the farmer to develop their production. In Goias, despite the diversity in cultivation, with 52 species of different vegetables, the dependence of conventional seeds is still high and one way to minimize it would be the production of own seeds. The change in this scenario is not sudden, nor can it depend only on one sector, it is a joint effort. Successful experiences must be exchanged, replicated, and each region adapting to the best solution. |
