Cereals Diversity for adaptation to climate change
The general objective is to adapt and to spread the population SOLIBAM Soft FLORIDDIA in the context individualized for facilitating the adaptation to the climatic changes of the cereal growing in the organic-farming and low input systems in Tuscany.
Protagonists will be the local networks of farmers that will contribute to the reproduction of seed, managing the correct evolution of it in the time, and to their diffusion, with the technical and scientific support of the partners of the project.
The changes promoted by the PS will have different impacts, from the business level to the consumption of the final products, interesting farmers and the whole organic wheat compartment.
- Evaluation of the local adaptation and multiplication of the CCP in the 4 macro-areas thanks to the net of mother farms and daughters;
- production of seed of quality in every macro-area to be distributed to the local farmers so that to invest at least 20 has for areale;
- publication of guide-lines for the evolutionary maintenance of the CCPs;
- preparation of a monitoring system that follows the evolution of the CCPs in the 4 areal to furnish a technical support to the farmers and an informative support to interested subjects to try the products ended realized;
- realization of an APP for the harvest of the data from the farmers that participate in the testing of the innovation.
Some European project of research have studied the evolutionary populations (Composite Cross Population/CCP) in the organic-farming systems or low-input, to answer to the climatic changes and to make more resilient and sustainable the systems themselves: SOLIBAM (www.solibam.eu), Cobra (www.coreorganic2.org/Cobra), DIVERSIFOOD (www.diversifood.eu). These projects have underlined that the CCPs allow to produce genetic pool able to suit in time for the climatic changes because they absorb very well the climatic differences between one year and the other, compared to the modern uniform varieties. Nowadays many European countries are working on the CCPs in their single contexts (France, United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark) Wheat's CCP SOLIBAM soft FLORIDDIA constitutes the nucleus of the innovation to test the evaluation of his adaptation in 4 climatic macro-areas (lowland, hill, mountain and coast) in experimental fields devoted (1 farmmother and 5 farm-daughters for every macro area) so that to have seed suited for local level by to distribute to a net of interested farmers, sensitized by opportune actions of demonstration This innovation will allow to bring difference in the organic grain sector or low input, going to resolve the problem of the absence of proper variety for these cultivation systems and making more resilient to the
climatic changes the whole Tuscan cereal production. The innovation will be managed by the farmers and diffused with a license open source to guarantee the amplest access from other users.
