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.
