N2  - The basic question underlying the Oaxaca Project (see p. 32) is simple, says Julien Berthaud, a CIMMYT population geneticist: “Can the genetic diversity of maize be maintained or increased in smallholders’ fields while enhancing the welfare of the farmers?” As scientists searched for answers to this question, from farmers’ silos to ultra highpowered statistical computer packages, it became clear that they would not find a single, straightforward answer. In fact, says Berthaud, “Our inquiry has led to more questions whose answers turn out to be enormously complex.”
