Underutilised crops, ecosystem services and agroecological practices

Main objective of the workshop

The aim is to explore the contribution of Underutilised Crops (UCs) to Ecosystem Services (ES) through the lens of the agroecological practices applied to the agroecosystems. 

Short description of the workshop 

Within the RADIANT H2020 project – ReAlisingDynamIc vAlue chaiNs for underuTilised crops-  we explored the role of UCs and how to enhance their value with particular focus for ES. In this workshop we will explore together in a participatory way, the connection between UCs and ES especially through the agroecological practices applied. The final goal would be to develop a draft of a self-assessment tool to evaluate the ES provided by farms that cultivate UC.

RADIANT project proposes a set of strategic and fully inclusive multi-actor driven solutions, supported by practical tools and multi-actor engagement methods, to realise Dynamic Value Chains (DVCs) for underutilised crops (UCs).
