Description
Horizon Europe, the EU’s funding initiative that facilitates collaboration and reinforces the impact of research and innovation in developing, assisting and implementing EU policies while combating global challenges, calls for biodiversity and ecosystem services with the program, “Boosting breeding for a sustainable, resilient and competitive European legume sector”, the goal of which is to assist the objectives of the European Union’s biodiversity plan and the farm to fork strategy to shift to fair, healthy and resilient agriculture. This goal is expected to be achieved by expanding crop and breed availability to meet the specific needs of the legume industry thus assisting increased (agro-) biodiversity and the shift to green, productive, climate-neutral and resilient agricultural systems that reduce pressure on ecosystems while ensuring fair economic returns for farmers and food consumption that is both healthy and environmentally sustainable.
The planned opening date is October 28, 2021.
The deadlines are February 15, 2022, 17:00:00 Brussels time, and September 1, 2022, 17:00:00 Brussels time.
