"Early results are very encouraging," explained Enrico Belfanti, a correspondent for Tera Seeds, and Stefania Delvecchio, project manager for Ri.Nova. "We started by planting 20 different processing tomato genotypes, selected among hundreds of varieties, resulting from research started years ago and, at the end of the first year of the project, we reduced the shortlist to 4 promising selections on which we are going to carry out, in the next few months, even more in-depth tests from an agronomic point of view, with the help of organic farms participating in the project, all of which are located in the area of Mesola (Ferrara), as well as the assistance of the FOR.B social cooperative at Forlì, specialized in the professional retraining of people from disadvantaged backgrounds."
"The aim of the project is to guarantee for processing companies a tomato that simultaneously provides high quality fruit, guarantees excellent production yields and is resistant to the two major fungal enemies of this crop: Peronospora and Alternaria. In this way, we will provide the sector with a quality tomato that is healthy and sustainable for the environment, to the advantage of consumers and growers, both those who are committed to organic production and those who implement the regulations of integrated agriculture."
