Summary
This plant genetic card presents information on the Copafam bean (Phaseolus coccineus L.), a locally adapted landrace from the mountainous Val Camonica area of northern Italy. The card documents its traditional importance, agronomic characteristics, environmental adaptation, climate-change-related challenges and culinary uses, supporting the conservation and continued use of locally adapted legume genetic resources. The plant genetic card was provided by Rete Semi Rurali in English and Italian as part of the Horizon Europe LiveSeeding project.
