Description
This initiative aims to improve the sustainability of wheat production through the members of its chain, promoting environmental quality labels that provide greater added value when growing wheat with GAPs.
Objectives
- Integrate all actors in the wheat production chain as a means of promoting innovation that enables sustainable agriculture and more efficient use of natural resources.
- Adapt and promote innovative technologies among farmers and society at large.
- Promote labelling tools for wheat by-products such as bread, to give commercial visibility to sustainably produced cereals.
- Create a dissemination plan to improve the adoption of innovations and generate information that will enable policies to support innovative and sustainable agriculture.
Results
- Catalogue of wheat producing areas and their different management methods and identification of problems to be improved.
- Catalogue of Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) that reduce environmental impact.
- Agronomic and economic results of how the proposed GAPs can improve wheat production compared to conventional management.
- Development of a low-emission wheat certification system and labelling of bread packages with the low-emission seal.
- Web platform design to promote the dissemination and promotion of the importance of promoting sustainable and innovative practices in wheat production among various legislators.
