GO FITONET final event: The social network of plant genetic resources

February 21, 2025. CEOE Headquarters. C/ Diego de León 50, Madrid

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 February 21, 2025 will be held at the CEOE headquarters in Madrid, GO FITONET final event: The social network of plant genetic resources, which will be dedicated to presenting the results of the project.
