| dc.description | The RADIANT project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 program, seeks to transform European agrifood systems by promoting the use of underutilized and neglected crops (UCs). These crops, often overlooked in conventional agriculture, offer valuable benefits such as increased biodiversity, improved resilience to climate change, and enhanced sustainability in food production. By integrating UCs into dynamic value chains, RADIANT supports the EU’s goals for sustainable agriculture, food security, and ecosystem services.Coordinated by the Universidade Católica Portuguesa, RADIANT brings together 29 partners from 12 countries, including the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), to unlock the potential of UCs across Europe. The project emphasizes empowering local communities and smallholder farmers, fostering innovation, and creating inclusive food systems that are better equipped to face environmental and economic challenges.Through research, collaboration, and outreach, RADIANT aims to reshape agricultural practices by demonstrating the viability and benefits of UCs. The initiative not only contributes to ecological sustainability but also promotes social equity and economic opportunities in rural areas. Ultimately, RADIANT envisions a more diverse, resilient, and sustainable European food system. | |
