ROTATES Consortium brings together exceptional expertise, spanning the entire agri-food value chain: #farmers, #researchers, #processors, #marketers and #consumers. Uniting agronomy, data science, entomology, and social science, ROTATES channels knowledge to cultivate the agriculture of the future.

🌱 What if the key to a resilient future is buried beneath our feet? ROTATES is unearthing it, with cassava, yam, taro & sweet potato. From France to Cyprus, Madeira to Guadeloupe, and even the Republic of Congo, this project is planting the seeds for renewal.
#ClimateResilience #EUResearch

🌱 The ROTATES Project just kicked off in Montpellier (7–8 July)!

A Horizon Europe effort to boost agrobiodiversity by integrating sweet potato, yam, cassava & taro into EU farming systems.

Let’s rotate toward resilient agriculture.
