On the weekend of November 4th to 6th we were at the Chestnut Fair and autumn palates in Trancoso with a stand and two technical presentations on conservation and nutritional value of the Chestnut, within the framework of the Cultivar project: “Application of modified atmospheres in the post harvest conservation of the chestnut (cv. Martainha)” by researcher Mário Cristóvão and “Nutritional potential of Chestnut” by researcher Christophe Espírito Santo.
The Integrated IC&DT CULTIVAR Program aims to respond to the challenges that the ranks of the Agro-food sector of the Central Region face, namely to characterize, conserve and enhance regional endogenous genetic resources in low density areas, through a strategy of territorial development, promoting and consolidating collaboration between science, technology and higher education institutions and the Agri-Food cluster. Initiative co-financed by the Centre 2020, Portugal 2020 and the European Union through the ERDF.
