Description Crowdsourcing is a method of enlisting a group of people to work toward a common objective or solve a pressing issue, notably to ensure the sustainable expansion of agricultural activities. By using crowdsourcing, it is feasible to select the finest suggestions
made by a large number of responders as opposed to depending simply on the credentials and experience of one individual. By seeking ideas and solutions from a broad group of individuals, crowdsourcing is superior to internal thought processes in many ways. This technique for variety selection improves seed systems by enhancing variety recommendations, enhancing on-farm testing, engaging and empowering farmers, aiding in the diversification of seed systems, supporting the scaling up of on-farm agricultural research, allowing women to make their own variety selections, supplying business opportunities for farmers, women, and young people, and helping researchers learn farmers' variety preferences. The primary techniques for putting crowdsourcing into practice include component identification, identifying farmers who are receiving various mixtures of varieties, seed preparation, site selection and planting, cultivation, measurements and observations, and proper harvesting.
