Establish a dynamic network composed of a PPP 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 …

Crop losses due to fungal and mycotoxin contamination have become a widespread threat, jeopardizing food safety and profitability. However, a revolutionary solution is on the horizon. The EU-funded MyToolBox project will mobilize a diverse collaboration, …

Growing two or more crops in close proximity allows for greater yields on a given plot. This intercropping practice is also more sustainable than traditional cropping systems. For example, intercropping promotes biodiversity, optimizes land use, and …

H2020 BIOFERTICELLULASER Project: Role of bacterial cellulases in the transition from free-living to root endophytes in rapeseed crops and in the design of efficient …

Increasing land productivity sustainably is the main current challenge for the agricultural sector. The EU-funded B-FOREST project proposes an integrated bio-waste valorization system in agricultural management. The project is introducing a more …

Organic farming is increasingly popular among European farmers. However, improving the competitiveness of organic farmers requires appropriate knowledge. The OH-FINE project seeks to empower European farmers and smallholders by defining, improving, and …

The first project tasks have begun. The first coordination meeting was held, where the organization of tasks and the next steps were finalized. Furthermore, a compilation of available information on target crops for the application of precision …

ReMIX will harness the benefits of species mixtures to design more diversified and resilient agroecological farming systems, less dependent on external inputs. Based on a multi-stakeholder approach, ReMIX will generate new knowledge with scientific …

The objective of GenTORE is to develop innovative genome-based selection and management tools to optimize the resilience and efficiency (R&E) of livestock in highly diverse environments. These tools, which incorporate genetic and non-genetic variables, …

TRUE (Transition Pathways to Sustainable Legume-Based Systems in Europe) is a consortium of 22 partners encompassing business and societal stakeholders, from legume production and processing to citizens. TRUE is underpinned by scientific excellence in the …

Organic farming is experiencing a boom in several European countries. However, there is a dependence on imported feed, particularly protein, for pig and poultry production. Supplying quality organic protein feed for organic farming poses a significant …

ECOBREED will improve the availability of seeds and varieties suitable for organic and low-input production. Activities will focus on four crop species, selected for their potential contribution to increasing the competitiveness of the organic sector: …

An impressive amount of genotype and phenotype data has been collected from hundreds of legume accessions as part of the EU-funded EUCLEG project. The description of genetic diversity, markers associated with trait variation, and genomic prediction …

Tomatoes are one of the most widely cultivated agricultural products in Europe. They are grown in many countries, both in open fields and in protected areas. However, tomato cultivation is threatened by water and nutrient stress. The EU-funded TomRes …
