Euroseeds welcomes the @EU_Commission's new Strategic Approach to Research & Innovation, bringing together AgRI 2040 and Food 2040 frameworks. We particularly welcome the recognition of #PlantBreeding as a key component of resilient, climate-smart cropping systems. #AgRI2040 #GrowingTheFuture

🥔 A potato is never “just a potato.” From the field to your snack bowl, science helps create potato varieties that are more resilient, sustainable and adapted to today’s challenges. Breeding a new potato can take more than a decade, combining expertise in genetics, agriculture and food production to reduce disease, improve storage and support farmers worldwide. This International Day of Potato, we celebrate the people and innovation behind one of the world’s favorite foods 🍟➡️ tinyurl.com/4t9w894t #GrowingTheFuture #InternationalDayOfPotato

🫘 🧬 A tiny genetic difference can decide if a faba bean survives winter or not. Researchers found a single “switch” in the plant’s DNA that controls winter hardiness. ❄️ The discovery could help breeders develop stronger varieties faster. How does it matter practically? ✔️ More resilient crops ✔️ Up to 50% higher yields in Europe ✔️ A sustainable protein source grown closer to home Read more ➡️ tinyurl.com/yyu72dud #GrowingTheFuture #plantbreeding #newplantvarieties
