BRESOV (Breeding for Resilient, Efficient and Sustainable Organic Vegetable production) is a project that received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. It started in May 2018. It deals with the urgent need to provide climate-resilient cultivars adapted to organic vegetable production systems. Three crops or crop families are focused on: tomato, beans and brassicas, broccoli in particular. The new cultivars will benefit organic growers, and the organic seed industry, providing much needed security both under current and future scenarios of climate change. The project is run in cooperation with 22 partners, among which FiBL Switzerland, that leads a work package on multi-location on-farm variety trials. FiBL produced a project video (it can be seen at this LINK) with contributions from the project’s partners (some of them are Italians) to present the objectives, methods and partners of BRESOV. The video gives also an insight in the results of the project after the first three years.
