The project aims to develop strategies, in the pre-harvest and post-harvest stages, for certain active ingredients that are candidates for substitution in stone fruit, red berries and table grapes.

To combine innovation in the rural world through technological transfer and the use of silvopastoral systems for the production of native Celtic pigs that give rise to products of differentiating quality through the use of own resources that allow sustainable and environmentally friendly practices within the agricultural and forestry sectors, carrying out activities that mitigate climate change

Establish a dynamic network composed of an APP and 3 Living Labs (pilot projects) that facilitates and promotes the use of plant genetic resources for the entire agri-food sector, so that knowledge and needs are exchanged through collaboration in obtaining quality, sustainable and profitable products.

Creation of a marketing structure that analyses the current situation, develops a strategic internationalisation plan and that stimulates and facilitates the export of genetic material from select breeds.

Creation of an Organisation of Producers of extensive organic herbaceous crops through an innovative system of transfer and organisation in which different actors from diverse fields are integrated to exchange knowledge.

Innovative application of an economical medium-density (MD) chip for the PRE that simultaneously allows for parentage control, early diagnosis of hereditary diseases (including those particular and specific to the PRE breed, such as cat neck among others) and chromosomal diseases, the detection of molecular markers related to economically important traits and the development of genomic selectio

Develop a quality standard for production processes and the minimum characteristics that must be met by the doses produced by artificial insemination centres for pigs in Spain.

Digitalisation, capture and use of the information available in dairy cattle farms with robotic milking in Spain to reinforce their sustainability. Capture the daily information collected by the milking robot at the level of each animal and relate it with data on foot health and udder health to select the animals that best adapt to robotic milking.

Innovation in genetic improvement ensures a more efficient selection of breeding stock, which contributes, among other things, to maintaining native and endangered breeds and revitalizing traditional and extensive livestock farming.

A key challenge facing the agricultural sector is climate change. Genetic improvement can be an effective tool to adapt crops to its effects, especially in areas with greater water scarcity. Germplasm banks also play a fundamental role in the conservation, availability and use of a wide range of plant genetic diversity.
