The range of latitudes covered by DREAM partners is very important for the project success as it allow to test the new agroecosystem in different environmental conditions, thus widening the potential impact of the project. Most importantly the Team, covers a wide range of multidisciplinary expertise such as agronomy and ecophysiology (UNIBO and INRA Mo,); plant genetics (UMI, UNIBO), plant metabolism and molecular biology (INRAE), plant health and protection (UMI, IMIDA, UNIBO), economic and environmental assessment (IMIDA), marketing strategies in agriculture (AGROAPPS); sustainable crop management and organic farming (GRAB), ecosystem biodiversity assessment (UNIBO, IMIDA).
This complementary set of expertise covers well the agricultural value chain, from primary production to product marketing, thus allowing to reach the DREAM objectives. Furthermore, the socio economic and marketing strategy experts will provide key information and tools to boost the implementation and diffusion of the system after the end of the project.
