What do we mean by food diversity? Nine key-concepts were developed together with all partners involved in DIVERSIFOOD. These definitions integrate practical and theoretical ideas, and natural science and social science perspectives.
Booklet #1
Toolkit to foster multi-actor research in agrobiodiversity
This toolkit provides building blocks for a multi-actor approach applied to participatory plant breeding and action research with the aim of embedding agrobiodiversity in food systems. It results from a wide range of experience developed within the DIVERSIFOOD project to boost cultivated diversity for organic and low-input agriculture and from the collective reflection of all the project partners.
