Co-constructing interactive short and mid-tier food chains to value agrobiodiversity in healthy plant- based food

Original titleCo-constructing interactive short and mid-tier food chains to value agrobiodiversity in healthy plant- based food
Abstract

The overall objective of this project is to facilitate the use and increase the value of Neglected and Underutilised Crops (NUCs).
DIVINFOOD will study minor cereals and legumes (white lupin by FiBL).

DIVINFOOD will:

  • Co-develop, with consumers, new interactive marketing modes and channels
  • Co-produce new and diversified plant-based healthy and appetising products and recipes
  • Benchmark diverse agroecological farming systems and techniques that improve NUCs’ performance, inter-specific biodiversity and the provision of citizen-focused agro-socio-ecosystem services
  • Breed more performant cultivars of cereals and legumes with local adaptation, intra-specific biodiversity, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, and potentiating nutritious and appetising food (white lupin at FiBL)
  • Demonstrate new business models that diversify income and activities for farmers and small-scale processors
  • Co-design pilot multi-actor territorial networks/social cooperatives
  • Design policy recommendations to promote their replication
