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.

ACTIVITIES

 CAPSELLA focuses on two complementary domains: agro-biodiversity and the food supply chain, in line with the most recent findings on how diversified agroecological systems are considered to be the alternative toward which both industrial agriculture and subsistence farming can and should evolve.

 

The aforementioned hot topics were tackled during the two-day meeting organised in the relaxing and warm atmosphere of the Tuscan countryside last May.
