📋 Tender Overview
Co-Constructing Interactive Short And Mid-Tier Food Chains To Value Agrobiodiversity In Healthy Plant-Based Food
Recognising The Benefits Of Neglected Cropsone Billion People Are Suffering From Chronic Hunger. Neglected And Underutilised Crops (Nucs) Have The Potential To Reduce Food And Nutrition Insecurity. In This Context, The Eu Funded Divinfood Project Aims To Boost The Value Of Nucs. Specifically, It Will Focus On Healthy Plant-Based Food, Products With A Local/Regional Identity And Diverse Services And Benefits Received From Agriculture And Food. The Researchers Will Study Minor Cereals And Legumes In Three Geographical Regions That Face Various Climatic Hazards. They Will Also Explore The Diverse Socio-Economic Challenges To Developing Agrobiodiversity-Rich Value Chains. With Consumers, Divinfood Will Co-Develop New Interactive Marketing Modes. Ultimately, The Project Will Pave The Way For Breeding More Performant Cultivars Of Cereals And Legumes With Local Adaptation.
