Protection and promotion of ancient common wheat varieties, in the Emilia-Romagna region
The main objective of the project is to preserve agricultural biodiversity of the Emilia Romagna region, with particular interest to common ancient wheat varieties, through enhancement actions that have as main actors farmers, the guardians of this precious heritage.
The two-year project is divided in the following main activities: - In situ conservation of the agronomic biodiversity data collection based on long term field experiment in order to extrapolate the effects of different agricultural practices on carbon sequestration and to elaborate optimal agronomical management systems; - field trials with the aim of evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed agronomical management systems in organic and conventional farming systems.
Main expected results in SAVE project:
- descriptive sheets of plant genetic resources that will contain the description of the plant, based on morphological and physiological features. This sheets will be used for multiple purpose: research and collaborations, teaching materials for students, information material for consumers and farmers, enhancement of biodiversity, registration of local varieties in the Regional Repertory of agricultural genetic resources;
- creation of an enhancement chain of the plant genetic resources, with particular reference to local and old varieties of common wheat. The enhancement of plant genetic resources will be based on agronomic, nutritional, nutraceutical and organoleptic aspects.
