The first newsletter of the Erasmus+ project "Niche Markets in Agriculture" can now be read here [in German]. It informs about the previous transnational meetings of the project partners as well as about the first results of the project and gives an insight into the different dissemination activities in the context of events and conferences.
The Erasmus+ project "Niche Markets in Agriculture" aims to promote old varieties and thus the biodiversity of cultivated crops. This should also be attractive for small and medium-sized agricultural businesses in particular through premium marketing such as organic cultivation or protected designations of origin.
As part of the project, information and learning materials on these topics will be developed and gradually published on the project website. The content and results of Module 1, which provides an introduction to the conservation of old varieties in agriculture in the partner countries, are now online on the website. These are available free of charge and can be downloaded as a PDF in German, English, Italian, Polish and Spanish.
