The conference, which took place in September 2019, was organized by DiverIMPACTS partner ÖMKI and convened by DiverIMPACTS together with the other members of the crop diversification cluster: Diverfarming, DIVERSify, ReMIX, LEGVALUE and TRUE.

At the conference, several workshops were held, which were organized by the partners of the Crop Diversification cluster. In the workshops, themes such as collaboration among the projects, breeding issues, policy recommendations, technological and value chain issues were discussed.
