MILWAYS PAST & FUTURE MILLET FOODWAYS

Coordinator: VILNIAUS UNIVERSITETAS (LT)

Crop diversification critically mitigates agricultural risk for humanity. Identifying the environmental and cultural factors influencing the adoption and abandonment of staple foods through time is essential to an informed discussion about present-day food security and adaptation to a changing global climate. Past studies on ancient agriculture have identified the routes and timing of primary crop dispersals, but we possess a remarkably narrow understanding on how and why new foods were integrated and later abandoned by societies, and why certain crops remained restricted to distinct geograph…

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €2.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2023-06-01 to 2028-05-31.
