%X Camelina is an oil crop cultivated in Europe since ancient times. It contains a healthy oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids, omega three acids. It also contains gondoic acids, which is interesting for the biochemical industry. Camelina needs few fertilizers. It's resistant to the diseases and pests, so it fits very well to organic systems. The SCOOP project is about camelina intercropping with other companion crops like spelt wheat, pea, lentil, flax, buckwheat etc. In the SCOOP project, we would like to show that camelina is suitable for many climates. Therefore, we established field trials with camelina and companion crops in Poland, in Bulgaria, Italy and Turkey.
