On 14 November, during the open day organised by Smarties.bio (in the province of Venice, Italy), visitors will be able to tour the farm structures and learn about the different stages and techniques involved in production.

With Professor Ferdinando Branca (University of Catania) we will explore genetic improvement techniques and the selection of some brassica varieties developed from wild parents.

The activity is part of the COUSIN project in collaboration with Rete Semi Rurali and the University of Catania. The event will be in Italian.
