Benefits to the European Economy?
Food and feed, bioenergy, biomaterials – the two crops supply to strategic industries and help reduce dependency on imports, whilst creating value on the European continent.

 

 

 

Additional Benefits?
The excellence of Europe’s hybrid breeding work, which enable developers to create solutions.
