Regenerating ancient grains for resilient food systems

Regenerating ancient grains for resilient food systems Innovation in agriculture does not happen in isolation. Through European-funded research and international collaboration, ENCO works to transform ideas into practical solutions for resilient food systems, with projects like SEEDS demonstrating how innovation can strengthen cereal value chains. For decades, the modern food system has pursued efficiency above all else. Agricultural production has been optimised for volume, supply chains for speed, and markets for standardisation. Yet this model is increasingly showing its limits. Climate change, biodiversity loss, and market volatility are exposing vulnerabilities in global food systems, pushing stakeholders to rethink how agriculture can become more resilient and sustainable.
