Organic right from the start – From breeding to the end product.
What is organic breeding?
Using methods and techniques that are compatible with the principles of organic farming, organic breeding develops varieties that meet the needs of organic farming.
Breeding takes place with respect for the integrity of the plant – there is no intervention below the cell level (genetic engineering). All the work steps, from the first to the last, take place on organic farms.

- I breed varieties for the futureKultursaat breeder Christhild Brauch cultivates a variety of vegetable crops at Mönchhof in Hessen. At the same time, she is involved in basic research.
- Review of BIOFACH 2024Organic starts with breeding and seeds – and not just with cultivation on certified organic land. The “Meeting Point Organic Breeding” at this year’s BIOFACH drew attention to this fact.
- BIOFACH 2024: Meeting point Organic breedingAt this year’s BIOFACH, there will once again be a joint stand under the motto “Meeting point organic breeding”. This time, even more partners who are committed to organic breeding will be present.
- Crop Plants are the Companions of HumanityThe German breeder Christina Henatsch looks back on more than twenty years of biodynamic breeding and is intensively concerned with the question of which crops will feed us in the future.
bioverita sees itself as a counterbalance to genetic engineering and the consolidation in the seed industry with fewer and fewer suppliers. The range of organic varieties for organic farming must therefore be increased.
bioverita is always about organic breeding – whether that is vegetables, cereals or coming soon, apples!
