Project mission

The BEST-CROP project intends to target barley, a major crop worldwide, boosting yield thanks to an increase in photosynthetic efficiency and O3 uptake. The project also focuses on improving the quality of straw for downstream industrial processes, which will result in the creation of new sustainable raw materials for the feed, green chemistry, construction, and composites sectors.
