🌾 𝗙𝗜𝗘𝗟𝗗 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗦 🌾 Our BEST-CROP project enhanced barley lines completed their growth season in the field in the Czech Republic, thanks to Palacký University Olomouc and Usovsko food a.s., which run the accredited facility for field testing of GM barley in the EU. This year we followed enhanced ozone tolerance under real growing conditions: no climate chambers, no ideal weather, just nature as it came. 👉 bestcrop.eu #BESTCROP #barley #cropcultivation #sustainability #sustainabletechnology #circulareconomy

🌾 𝗕𝗔𝗥𝗟𝗘𝗬 𝗜𝗡 𝗡𝗨𝗠𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗦 #Barley is one of the world’s major cereal crops. In the #EU alone, around 10 million hectares are cultivated each year, producing roughly 50 million tonnes of grain for #malting, #feed and #food. But grain is only part of the story. For every tonne of barley grain, the crop also produces roughly 0.7 tonnes of straw, a type of biomass that too often stays a low-value by-product. BEST-CROP project works on both ends of the barley plant: more efficient #photosynthesis above ground, and #straw designed from the start to become materials, forage and bio-based products. 👉 Discover how: bestcrop.eu #BESTCROP #barley #cropcultivation #sustainability #sustainabletechnology #circulareconomy
