Detalle de: Breed-E-Omics: Genomic Approach for Sustainable Spelt Agriculture

Title Breed-E-Omics: Genomic Approach for Sustainable Spelt Agriculture
Description

This project addresses the growing demand for sustainable, high-value spelt wheat. Through comprehensive stakeholder engagement with farmers and agri-food industry, we've identified three critical needs: low-input high-yield varieties for farmers, nutritious organic grains for food processors, and promotion of soil health and biodiversity. We're conducting varietal assessments, genotype-by-environment studies, and genome-wide association analyses to develop resilient spelt strains that deliver economic, environmental, and social benefits.

Vision: Spelt can represents the future of sustainable cereal production, combining ancient nutritional benefits with modern genomic breeding efficiency.
