|---|---|
| Teaser: | Learn from experiences in Spain - preserving traditional varieties. |
| What problem does the tool address?: | The Mediterranean region has a rich traditional agriculture with many crop varieties. We need to recover their use in the fields to ensure the future of the agrarian sector and stop the loss of biological diversity in the agrarian systems. |
| What solution does the tool offer?: | Valorization of traditional varieties Valencia’s Agriculture Department aims to valorise local traditional non-commercial varieties via consumer awareness and a Traditional Varieties’ Catalogue and a seed loan system. The Catalogue is a participatory online tool, where farmers can find information on the whole range of already identified traditional varieties of the Region of Valencia and can also add information on cultural and growing aspects and share information on varieties that still haven’t been included. Multiplying, saving and exchanging organic seeds Public experimental stations in collaboration with organic farmers multiply and exchange organic seeds. |
