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.
CERERE – Rinascimento dei cereali in Europa: incorporare la diversità nei sistemi alimentari da agricoltura biologica e a basso input
Grazie alla creazione di una solida rete multi-attore tra le comunità di pratica ed i ricercatori, il progetto CERERE si propone di convalidare, condividere e presentare le migliori pratiche esistenti sull’agrobiodiversità dei cereali e sulla qualità degli alimenti integrandole con i risultati della ricerca.

What is DIVERSIFOOD all about? Who are the actors involved? And what are the challenges we are facing to promote a new way of thinking agriculture? Find it out watching the “DIVERSIFOOD in pills” video interviews.
Summer is a busy season for agriculture, and DIVERSIFOOD followed the mood. Many farm days and trainings in the field were organized in different countries, summing up the first results of the project.
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
