Harnessing the potential of underutilized crops to promote sustainable food production (DIVERSICROP)

Project number: CA22146

WG Nutrition leader: Marija Knez

Project collaborator: Jelena Milešević, Petar Jovanović

Duration of the project: October 2023-September2027

Leading institution: University College Dublin, Ireland

 

Description of the project:

With population growing rapidly and within the context of agro-climatic changes, there is an increased demand to sustainably produce nutritious food. In Europe, many nutrient-dense foods are not widely grown and consumed, despite their suitability to European climates and environments, and viability for sustainable production with lower inputs. Underutilised crops that are stress resilient such as rye and legumes, have the potential to supply key nutrients and improve diets and risk of diet-related diseases. Such crops have a long history of cultivation across the continent and are part of the national historic food identity of different European countries yet are underutilised due to several complex reasons. DIVERSICROP addresses these challenges using an innovative, cross-sectoral and multidisciplinary approach by analysing the deep history of underutilised crops in Europe, understanding the genetic diversity and adaptation to climate change of crop germplasm, analysing current regional trends in the consumption of food products and by involving national and EU policymakers and key stakeholders to revive diverse crop production and maximise the impact of Europe’s agricultural sustainability. DIVERSICROP aims to harmonise fragmented data and develop strategies for the sustainable cultivation of target crops, striking a balance between agricultural sustainability and human nutritional value. DIVERSICROP brings together a skilled and interdisciplinary network to identify climate-resilient crop lines, and potential nutritional and health benefits of their consumption to rethink our food systems. DIVERSICROP will strengthen the Farm to Fork and the Biodiversity strategies under the European Green Deal to contribute to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Genome Editing to Treat Humans Diseases

Project leader: Karim Benabdellah

Project collaborators:

Drenka Trivanović (MC member), Aleksandra Jauković, Sanja Vignjević-Petrinović, Ivana Drvenica

Project number: CA21113

Duration of the project: September 2021. – September 2025.

Leading Institution: Fundación Pública Andaluza, Progreso y Salud, Granada, Španija

Description of the project:

Recent advances on genome editing technologies have opened the possibility of treating diseases through precise modifications of patients’ genomes. However, the translation of the genome editing technologies to address public health needs, require a strong collaboration between basic and clinical research, regulatory bodies and the different stake holders involved for each application. There are several networks to improve or analyse genome editing technologies for different applications, however, no one cover all the actors involved in gene therapy translation. The principal aim of the GenE-HumDi Action is to bring together pharmaceutical companies, academic institution, science and regulatory agencies, biotechnology firms, patient advocacy association and information technology, in order to tackle knowledge fragmentation with the aim to accelerate the translation of GE technologies to the treatment of human diseases.
