Collective Organisation for Underutilised Cereals Processing

In France, underutilised cereals such as rye, rivet wheat, millet (etc) are coming back into the fields and into eaters’ plate. This is due to a long participatory research process starting with some projects such as the Underutilised Cereal Renewal one in Western France. Besides underutilised cereals development is providing opportunities for organic farmers to diversify crops and market into short and local food chains.
