FRESHFEL and AREFLH created in 2014 a European taskforce for research and innovation. This group of experts presented in 2015 a strategic agenda to the European Commission that focused on the priorities of research for the fruit and vegetable sector in the framework of Horizon 2020.
This task force found it important to create a European network similar to EUFRIN (the platform that gathers more than 40 fruit research centres) but for the vegetable research and transfer centres (EUVRIN).
EUVRIN is an informal, voluntary organization of research institutes or research institutes departments that specialize in research, development, and extension on vegetable production and which are based within countries of the European Union.
On the 15th, RUSTICA partner ILVO will give a presentation “Bio based fertilisers from vegetable and fruit waste: processes, characterization and validation”
