Unravelling the potential of neglected crop diversity for high-value product differentiation and income generation for the poor: The case of chili pepper in its centre of origin
Project
Project code: 81121021
Contract period: 01.03.2010
- 28.02.2013
Budget: 1,200,000 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Goal: To generate higher incomes for poor farmers in developing countries based on the enhanced and sustainable use of native and neglected crop diversity. Purpose: In response to the growing demand for differentiated, high-value foods and ingredients, and focusing on Capsicum peppers as an example for the universal problem of the under-use of crop genetic diversity, Bioversity along with its partners in Germany and two developing countries (Bolivia and Peru) will combine innovative methodologies (e.g. molecular studies, GIS, biochemical screening) and market intelligence to promote the use of native varieties and species that respond to market opportunities and trends, all sourced from representative national germplasm collections.
