是

2.1 该方法的简要说明

The Experimental Farm Network is an online platform facilitating collaborative plant breeding as well as other sustainable agricultural research.

2.2 该方法的详细说明

该方法的详细说明:

The experimental farm network started when Nate Kleinman and Dusty Hinz saw the threats of climate change, and wanted to have an agriculture able to cope with it. Breeding for crops like trees, or perennial wheat, takes decades and is often part of university programs which phase out with the retirement of the responsible person. These are the reasons which lead the two to build up a decentralized network for plant breeding and other experimental farming techniques.

The network is online based, open source, and with a free access to everyone having an internet connection. In the network, there are two positions for each project: researcher and volunteer. A researcher who wants to start a project describes the goals, the needs from the volunteers, and the required climatic and soil conditions. A volunteer, who has a profile where the growing conditions are described, can sign up for the project. The researcher can then contact the volunteers which seem suitable, and send genetic material. Usually, the work involves planting the seeds, growing it out, measuring some characteristics (size, yield, etc.) and sending a part of the seeds with some data back.

The EFN is organized as a non-profit cooperative with two permanent employees and a board of advisors. The sources of income were initially a crowdsourcing and the sale of seeds. Financially it is not yet totally self-carrying, as the employees are working sometimes for free. With the increase of seed sales, also from experimental and diverse varieties, it is changing.

The website helps putting people in touch and keeping records of who is working on which project, as well as for volunteers to stay updated with the projects. Some projects, with annuals, are only short term, while others, for example with slow growing perennials, may need decades if not more to produce a selected cultivar or variety of a crop.

3.3 流程图（如可用）

3.4 有关SLM技术选择的决策

具体说明谁有权决定选择要实施的技术:

• 主要是土地使用者，由SLM专家提供支持

解释:

Each volunteer grows a crop only if he or she wants to grow it, and gets support for it.

明确做出决策的依据:

• 对充分记录的SLM知识进行评估（基于证据的决策）
• 研究结果
• 个人经验和意见（无记录）

4.1 能力建设/培训

是否为土地使用者/其他利益相关者提供培训？:

是

明确受训人员:

• 土地使用者

培训形式:

• Support for the volunteers

涵盖的主题:

Depending on the crop grown, the researcher helps with information about how best to grow it.

4.2 咨询服务

土地使用者有权使用咨询服务吗？:

否

4.3 机构强化（组织发展）

是否通过这种方法建立或加强了机构？:

• 是，适度

• Online

说明机构、角色和职责、成员等。:

The online network was established within the approach.

4.4 监测和评估

监测和评估是该方法的一部分吗？:

否

4.5 研究

研究是该方法的一部分吗?

是

明确话题:

• 生态学

提供进一步的细节，并指出是谁做的研究:

Breeding is always research for better adapted crops or varieties.

5.1 该方法中SLM组成部分的年度预算

说明该方法中SLM部分的年度预算，单位为美元:

10000.00

注释（例如主要的资助来源/主要捐助者）:

Crowdsourcing was used in the beginning, now the sale of seeds is taking over in supporting the cooperative financially.

5.2 为土地使用者提供财政/物质支援

土地使用者是否获得实施该技术的财政/物质支持？:

否

5.3 对特定投入的补贴（包括劳动力）

• 农业

如果土地使用者的劳动力是一项重要的投入，那么是不是:

• 自愿

5.4 信用

是否根据SLM活动的方法给予信用值？:

否

5.5 其它激励或手段

是否有其他激励措施或工具用于促进SLM技术的实施？:

否

6.1 方法的影响

6.2 土地使用者实施SLM的主要动机

6.3 方法活动的可持续性

土地使用者能否维持通过该方法实施的措施（无外部支持的情况下）？:

• 不确定

若否或不确定，请具体说明并予以注释:

It depends on the project, but usually the land users can continue to grow the crops they are testing as a part of the network.

6.4 该方法的长处/优点

土地使用者眼中的长处/优势/机会
Allows farmers who are isolated on the countryside to have research projects together with others.
Allows a decentralized approach, in which the research can continue even if the initial researcher did not continue.

编制者或其他关键资源人员认为的长处/优势/机会
The transparency allows other projects to be inspired to do similar breeding projects.

6.5 该方法的弱点/缺点以及克服它们的方法

土地使用者认为的弱点/缺点/风险	如何克服它们？
Some volunteers only take the seeds, and do not give back as promised.	EFN wants to implement a rating system for volunteers, in a way that researchers can see if they are reliable.
Some people do not want to create an account in another social network.	They can contact some researchers directly, and work without having an account. This requires more organisational work for the researchers, but is done by some.

编制者或其他关键资源人员认为的弱点/缺点/风险	如何克服它们？
As an english speaking platform, it crosses many countries, while some seed regulation do not allow imports or translocations of genetic material due to the risks of disease transfer.	Arrange the platform into countries where adequate.
