How to better adapt fruit breeding to organic farming? – Webinar at the Ecofruit Conference 2024

CRA-W Gembloux and other InnOBreed partners organised a short hybrid workshop during the Ecofruit Conference in Germany on 19 February. The InnOBreed partners could benefit from a large assembly of European organic fruit experts that were gathered for the event.

The objectives of the webinar were to present the project, its objectives and first achievements (especially on priority traits for breeding), as well as to have an open discussion with participants and feedback for later improvements. A survey had been prepared and was shared to discuss the concept of robustness among participants, in order to find a common path to organic breeding. We were delighted to see that 50 people attended the webinar physically and about 20 invited stakeholders participated online.

The slides from the presentations are available here. Also, the survey that was shared during the webinar is still available for download here. Feel free to fill it in the survey and send it back to b.dumont@cra.wallonie.be.
