Via Ceglie, 9 – 70010 Valenzano (BA)
In collaboration with Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Istituto Agronomico Mediterraneo
Italian research in agro-food sector, is deeply involved in the major challenges of the future agriculture, like productivity and sustainability, while attention to biodiversity is fundamental. First of all it gives attention to the preservation, with the great “library” of agricultural germplasm, precisely guested by the CNR center of Bari. Not less important is the effort of description and genetic interpretation of the cultivated species. The contribute of our research has actually been decisive in genetic mapping of very important cultivations like wine, rice, peach tree, strawberry, whereas others, like hard wheat, are in a very advanced phase.
