II Webinar GO FITONET: The social network of plant genetic resources

II WEBINAR GO FITONET: The social network of plant genetic resources

June 12, 2024

He FitoNet Operational Group was born in 2022 in the context of the Call for the Execution of Projects of General Interest by Operational Groups of the European Innovation Association in terms of agricultural productivity and sustainability.

The project consists of the creation of Living Labs and pilot projects, as well as in the development of a web and mobile application (FitoNet) designed for farmers, producers and businesses, including information and knowledge obtained by them and by companies, as well as that obtained from the National Inventory of Plant Genetic Resources of the collections of the National Plant Genetic Resources Program, that of other characterization data and that relating to pre-improvement materials obtained by Agrofor groups.

The application will be a tool for exchanging information, knowledge and resources related to plant biology applied to agriculture, and will allow collaboration between researchers, farmers, producers and companies.

The ultimate goal is improve variety offering available to users, promote sustainable practices and respectful with the environment, and support the growing demand of the society for differentiated vegetable products and of higher nutritional and organoleptic quality.

In this context, the next June 12, 2024 will be celebrated on II GO FITONET Webinar: The social network of plant genetic resources, which will be dedicated to presenting the progress of the project.
