At the last 21 June 2008 meeting of the FSO project in Modena we agreed to facilitate an electronic discussion on the other questions that are key for the FSO project. One of them is local adaptation. This is going to be discuss until the end of september 2008.
The preservation of the endangered biodiversity by exploring the means, especially by participatory methodologies, to develop the on-farm agro-biodiversity is a key topic. Farms Seed Opportunities will thus fulfil the expectations of consumers, farmer community, researchers and policy-makers regarding the need to preserve endangered agro-biodiversity.
More clarity and shared understanding is needed on the threat of genetic erosion.
Best regards
Alessandro Cardarelli
