Description
Semillas Silvestres was presented as a collaborator in the Seed Ecology VII held between September 5 and 9, 2022 in Gijón. In this collaboration, we present the European project Fleurs Locales through a communication in poster format. Facilitating contact between researchers and users of native seeds should improve the results of technical projects, one of our objectives and that of the Fleurs Locales project.
