Project description
Underutilised crops to reinforce agrobiodiversity
Agrobiodiversity is crucial to sustainable agricultural systems and an important tool for ecological intensification, which optimises the management of nature's ecological functions and biodiversity. The EU-funded CROPDIVA project will reinforce agrobiodiversity at different levels and along distinct geographic and socio-economic areas. Activities include the promotion of six key underutilised arable crops – oats, hull-less barley, triticale, buckwheat, faba bean and lupin – plus the creation of value chains for selected underutilised crops and the study of the socio-economic impact of the project's results. CROPDIVA findings will provide innovative solutions along the entire food and non-food chain to enable biodiversity management at all levels, including diversifying the use of genetic resources, crop production systems, new food/non-food products and market opportunities, while satisfying producer and consumer requirements.
