We would like to formally invite you to save the date for the Final Conference of the H2020 project DYNAVERSITY (DYNAmic seed networks for managing European diversity), which will take place virtually on Tuesday 20th April 2021, from 09:00 until 15:30.

For the past four years, project partners have analysed and described different actors and networks involved in the in situ (on farm) conservation and dynamic management of genetic resources and crop diversity. The project has provided precious opportunities to exchange, integrating scientific and practical knowledge on how to best manage diversity in agriculture and in the entire food chain, in order to restore evolutionary and adaptation processes.

The conference will provide an opportunity to look back to the main outcomes of the project, ranging from different case studies, to communication and training tools, as well as policy recommendations, which you can already find attached to this email. The event also aims to look forward by discussing institutional & policy frameworks for crop diversity governance, trying to identify the changes needed to overcome existing bottlenecks to the development of activities focusing on crop diversity conservation and management in different seed systems.
