Heritage Varieties Help Ensure Food Security and Carry Cultural Heritage

Pärandsordid on köögiviljasordid, mida on kasutatud vähemalt 50 aastat. Need on seotud Eesti perede ja paikade ajalooga.
Pärandsordid on erinevad aretatud sortidest. Aretatud sordid peavad alati säilitama oma esialgsed omadused. Pärandsordid aga muutuvad, sest inimesed valivad ise parimad taimed istutamiseks.
Pärandsordid on Eestis levinud perede ja naabrite vahel. , sest nad toidid seemneid kaasa, kui nad kolisid uude kohta.
Praegu on pärandsortide säilimine ohus. Vanemad inimesed surevad ja noored kolivad linna. Seemnete säilitamine ununeb. Mõned vanad sordid on juba kadunud.
Viimasel ajal on huvi pärandsortide vastu kasvanud. . Ka inimeste algatused aitavad säilitada vanu sorte.
kui tänapäevased sordid. See on sellepärast, et inimesed on nendega harjunud ja nad on kohalike tingimustega kohastunud. Poe sordid on aretatud transportimiseks paremini taluma.
Pärandsordid on . Näiteks . Vanade sortidega on sageli seotud põnevad lood, mis kanduvad edasi põlvest põlve.
Geenipangas hoitakse seemneid sügavkülmas. Mõned taimed, nagu kartul, ei saa säilitada seemnetena. Seetõttu kasvatatakse neid katseklaasides. See aitab hoida sorte haigusvabadena ja ressursisäästlikult.
Geenipangas on võimalik taimi tervendada. Näiteks vana sort Jõgeva kollane oli viirushaige, kuid see sai tervendada.
. Oluline on kasvatada neid oma aias ja võtta nendelt seemneid. See aitab tagada toidujulgeoleku ja kultuuripärandi.
Heritage varieties are vegetable cultivars that have been used for at least 50 years. They are connected to the history of Estonian families and places.
Heritage varieties differ from bred varieties. Bred varieties must always retain their initial characteristics. Heritage varieties, however, change because people themselves select the best plants for cultivation.
Heritage varieties have been shared between families and neighbors in Estonia. Women have played a significant role, as they carried seeds with them when they moved to new places.
Currently, the preservation of heritage varieties is at risk. Older people are passing away, and younger people are moving to cities. Seed preservation is being forgotten. Some old varieties have already been lost.
Recently, interest in heritage varieties has grown. In Tallinn and Tartu, there are seed libraries. People's initiatives also help preserve old varieties.
Heritage varieties usually taste better than modern varieties. This is because people are accustomed to them, and they are adapted to local conditions. Store-bought varieties are bred to better withstand transport.
Heritage varieties are part of Estonia's cultural heritage. For example, the Peipsi onion is a well-known example of a heritage variety. Old varieties are often associated with fascinating stories passed down through generations.
Gene banks store seeds in deep freeze. Some plants, like potatoes, cannot be preserved as seeds. Therefore, they are grown in test tubes. This helps keep the varieties disease-free and resource-efficient.
In gene banks, it is possible to heal plants. For example, the old variety Jõgeva yellow was infected with a virus, but it was healed.
Everyone can help preserve old varieties. It's important to grow them in your garden and collect seeds from them. This helps ensure food security and cultural heritage.
