Community based seed production gives more access to quality seeds, accurate information, and to produce community based improved varieties and seed practices to all farmers. Despite significant progress in developing improved wheat varieties, many of those improved varieties have not reached farmers, especially and poor and marginalized farmers. Taking the case of a district in north Bihar, this paper identifies several critical challenges of the existing seed delivery in India. The existing system has largely ignored the potential of farmers to play a significant role in developing an effective and equitable wheat seed delivery system. Due to inadequate feedback mechanisms, there is a knowledge and information gap between farmers' needs and preferences and the research stations. This results in an ineffective information feed for effective breeding programs. Using a small-scale, mixed, inductive, and broad-based research design, the paper sheds light on some simple but powerful measures to improve the overall wheat seed delivery system using a responsive approach.
