There is a fundamental conflict in our selection programs because the demand for elite genetics drives the ongoing loss of genetic diversity. Managing this challenge will require the participation of many stakeholders in this complex system, each of which has different incentives. Achieving necessary buy-in will require solid, objective evidence of an actual problem and tangible solutions.
