The project was born from the cooperation between the Association ‘ORTINNOVA’ and some researchers of the Department of Agricultural and Environmental Science of the University of Bari ‘Aldo Moro’. The project MicroGREENS aims to broadcast and increase the public awareness on the importance and value of the great heritage of biodiversity of the Italian and Apulian vegetables, revealing how such richness can be exploited to develop novel, fresh, functional and high value food products such as microgreens.
