The University of Life Sciences in Poznań is implementing the international project CARINA (Carinata and Camelina boosting the sustainable diversification in agricultural production systems). In September, the first working meeting of a team of 17 partners and 5 associates from 13 EU and associated countries was held in Poznań.

The project focuses on new sustainable and diversified agricultural systems, including the cultivation of two oilseed crops: Brassica carinata L. Brown (known as Abyssinian cabbage or Ethiopian mustard) and Camelina sativa L. Crantz (gold-of-pleasure). 

The oilseed species used in the project are characterised by their easy adaptation to diverse soil and climatic conditions and their ability to be used in different agricultural systems. The seeds of both plants provide high-quality oils that can be transformed into innovative bioproducts.
