Harnessing Emerging technologies for Resilient and Optimized CROP breeding to develop multi-stress ready agroecological systems across Europe’s diverse pedoclimatic regions

Obiettivo

HEROCROP improves the resilience of European cropping systems by developing, testing and validating multi-stress–resilient strategies for wheat, pea and open-field tomato across contrasting Mediterranean, Atlantic, Boreal and South sub-continental pedoclimatic regions. The project introduces a novel approach that moves beyond single-stress screening by systematically evaluating diverse genetic resources— commercial varieties, advanced breeding lines and especially locally adapted landraces/conservation varieties—under realistic combinations of abiotic and biotic stresses, both in controlled environments and in multi-location field networks.
HEROCROP builds an end-to-end pipeline that integrates harmonised multi-scale phenotyping and envirotyping protocols, multi-omics profiling and causal inference to reveal mechanisms and trait targets driving tolerance and stability under sequential and simultaneous stresses. These datasets underpin the first integrated G×E×M modelling and ML/AI-supported Digital Twins to predict performance, plasticity and risk across environments, management regimes and future climate scenarios.
The project translates evidence into actionable innovative outputs: an open Multi-Stress Trait Atlas and FAIR datasets to support future improvement of GxExM models, validated plasticity metrics and protocols, region-specific variety–management recommendation matrices, and a digital Benchmarking Platform supporting farmer and advisor decision-making. Impact is ensured through collaborative validation with breeders and a network of on-farm “Baby Trials” implemented via cascade funding, extending HEROCROP beyond the core consortium and generating real-world data and demonstrations.
Through Open Science, stakeholder engagement and structured exploitation strategies, HEROCROP strengthens EU capacity to breed and deploy climate-resilient, low-input and biodiversity-friendly crop solutions, contributing to food security, soil health and climate adaptation.
