POLICY BRIEF ON ORGANIC VEGETABLE PRODUCTIONIN EUROPE

Summary

This policy brief showcases the main findings of the H2020 project BRESOV and gives key policy recommendations based on its research results.
The BRESOV consortium's overall aim was to increase the plants' tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses and to increase the sensorial and nutraceutical traits of the products by providing new sources of genetic variation together with derived improved breeding materials suited to low-input organic growing systems. A multi-actor approach ensured the necessary cross-disciplinary interactions between researchers, businesses, farmers/producers, food industries, consumers, NGOs,advisors, and end-users.
