What is it about?
Boosting sustainable diversification in farming systems
CARinata and CameIINA to boost the sustainable diversification in EU farming systems.
CARINA project will focus on innovative farming systems for these crops, which can grow almost everywhere in Europe and Northern Africa. They also provide high quality oils that will be transformed into innovative biobased products (bioherbicides, bioplastics). What’s more, the co-product from oil extraction from these crops is a protein-rich cake that can be used as animal feed. A solution may be found in two new oilseed crops, carinata and camelina. The CARINA solution willbenefit approximately three million farmers.
