About the project

The project is managed by Bernadette Julier, French National Institute for Agriculture, Food, and Environment (INRAE)

The aim of the project to increase the competitiveness of the EU and Associated Countries legume breeding industry by improving the methodologies and the governance structures of the breeding sector.

Furthermore to design conditions that allow an efficient delivery of the achieved genetic progress to the breeders and seed industry, and to the other actors (registration offices, extension services, feed and food industry, farmers).

At NMBU we work with red clover and lucerne (alfalfa) in this project:

• Prediction models for forage biomass based on UAV images
• Genomic markers for freezing tolerance
• Business and governance models for legume forage breeding
