Excited to share that the COUSIN project work titled “Policy Pathways for the Integration of Crop Wild Relatives (CWRs) in Sustainable Agriculture” was presented by AUTH partners at the 18th International Conference of the Hellenic Association of Agricultural Economists “Strengthening the sustainability and resilience of rural economies: Green transition, digitalization and competitiveness”, held in Florina, Greece, 10-11 October 2025.

This research delves into how policy frameworks and governance mechanisms can foster the integration of Crop Wild Relatives (CWRs) into sustainable farming systems, ensuring the preservation of genetic diversity while strengthening the resilience and competitiveness of European agriculture. Moreover it demonstrates how scientific evidence can translate into actionable policy pathways for integrating CWRs into sustainable farming systems — a key objective of the COUSIN project.
