TRADITOM

Traditional tomato varieties and cultural practices: a case for agricultural diversification with impact on food security and health of European population

Description

TRADITOM aims to valorise the genetic diversity stored in traditional tomato varieties and to increase their resilience in order to prevent their steady replacement by higher yielding, hardier and often less tasty modern cultivars. With its multi-actor approach, TRADITOM seeks to provide farmers and breeders with new versions of traditional varieties incorporating yield and disease resistance traits without affecting their good sensory characteristics.
