The Sustainable Extensive Crops program is dedicated to improving the productivity, sustainability, and resilience of field crops, especially cereals and legumes. Our mission is to advance agricultural science through cutting-edge research, innovative phenotyping methodologies, digital breeding techniques, and sustainable agricultural practices that effectively respond to global change while minimizing environmental impact.
Knowledge transfer is also a vital part of our mission. We work closely with farmers, agribusinesses and other stakeholders to ensure that our research translates into practical, field-ready solutions. Our ultimate goal is to address today’s challenges in agriculture and create a more sustainable future for agricultural production, driving the transition towards more sustainable and resilient food systems.
