WELCOME TO FROM SEED TO PASTA IV
Following the three previous editions of “From Seed to Pasta”, this fourth edition (FSTP4) takes place in Bologna from 26 to 28 October 2022.
FSTP4 will provide a timely update on durum wheat multidisciplinary research towards a more sustainable and resilient durum wheat chain capable of enhancing food security while providing more nutritious grain and a healthier diet.
Facing the challenges posed by the climate crisis requires updated crop managements and fast genetic gains made possible by genomic-assisted selection based on advanced genomics knowledge and breeder’s friendly phenotyping to identify superior haplotyes, clone and edit the causal sequences.
State-of-the-art presentations will showcase how to safeguard soil health while reducing the environmental footprint of durum wheat production based upon higher nutrient-use efficiency coupled with better understanding of GxExM interactions.
Issues related to the production of higher quality and healthier semolina and pasta will be addressed in a dedicated session involving the milling and pasta industry.
We look forward to welcoming you in Bologna to attend FSTP4.
