COUSIN - Crop Wild Relatives Utilisation and Conservation for Sustainable Agriculture

Logo of the COUSIN project.

The primary objective of COUSIN is to create a roadmap for the effective use of CWRs in breeding and farming, focusing on five flagship crops: wheat, barley, pea, lettuce, and brassicas.

The approach includes:

  • Identifying priority traits
  • Designing selection toolboxes
  • Characterisation protocols (in-situ & ex-situ)
  • User-friendly data portal
  • On-farm pilots and actual breeding sites
