  • Survey : Priority Setting for a Crop Improvement Research Roadmap

  • CAPITALISE is an EU H2020 funded project that aims to improve the efficiency of photosynthesis by at least 10% in crop plants to produce higher yielding future proofed crops that can be grown and used in the EU. 

    The project is also developing a Roadmap and Strategic Research Agenda that addresses key bottlenecks in translating research from Proof of Concept to crop breeding programmes.  More about the project here.

    We invite you to take part in this survey to contribute your views and expertise as relevant stakeholders in crop improvement (policies) to influence the direction and development of this Roadmap. In addition, there will also be an opportunity to join future focus group work to refine the Roadmap and SRA.

  • Breeding for more efficient photosynthesis to improve key crop traits

  • How interested are you in growing crops with improved photosynthesis traits?*
  • Would less green (lower chlorophyll) but more efficient and higher yielding plants be of interest to you?*
