Partner project
Dynaversity is a parallel project funded by the EU which is working closely with Farmer’s Pride. It analyses and describes the actors involved in plant genetic conservation for agriculture in order to suggest management and governance models and to construct new forms of networking.
Dynaversity facilitates exchange and integration of scientific as well as practical knowledge on how to best manage diversity in agriculture and the food chain, restoring evolutionary and adaptation processes.
