Project website: https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA22146/

Project description:

DIVERSICROP’s main aim is to build an interdisciplinary network that will develop a new pathway to promote underutilised crops by identifying and sharing a harmonised dataset.
DIVERSICROP will tackle the challenges outlined above by:
i) engaging with historical data to develop an understanding of the cultural and socio-political challenges and opportunities.
ii) identifying and harmonising data on crop science, nutrition and policy to foster interdisciplinary knowledge-exchange.
iii) providing a model for organising interdisciplinary research, in this case anchored around specific crops and climatic regions.
