DIVERSIFOOD: What’s up

“All is running well”. With these words Véronique Chable, DIVERSIFOOD coordinator, summed up the first year-and-a-half of the project lifetime. Meetings, public events, trainings, field experiments: many activities were organized in different countries with the overall goal of enriching the diversity of cultivated plants through a multi-actor approach.

 

What is DIVERSIFOOD

 DIVERSIFOOD, “Embedding crop diversity and networking for local high quality food systems”, is an international project funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Programme for 4 years.

DIVERSIFOOD involves 21 organizations from 12 countries to enrich cultivated biodiversity by testing and promoting underutilized or forgotten crop species.

This DIVERSIFOOD newsletter aims at informing about the project development and results. It is published twice a year.

Posizione di Via Capesina Ifoam-EU e altre organizzazioni internazionali su NuoviOGM

RIguardo al dibattito che si sta sviluppando a livello europeo sulle nuove tecniche di miglioramento genetico (New Plant Breeding Techniques – NBPTs) emerge netta la posizione del mondo del biologico e dell’associazionismo.

 Queste nuove tecniche devono seguire lo stesso iter normativo degli organismi geneticamente manipolati
