19/03/21 Tunisian partner organizes First living lab in Tunisian
More then 10 Stakeholders are invited and will participate to the event.

During this 1st Living Lab workshop, the most important functional traits fig cultivars and fruits shall possess will be identified according to stakeholders’ preferences and expectations given the constraints and opportunities offered by the local context.

Most important traits will be included in phenotyping analyses on about 130 fig genotypes stored in Tunisian collections.
