Aim: This project aims to introduce sorghum to Baltic Sea Neighbourhood in an effort to reduce eutrophication and pesticide pollution in life below water (SDG14) and life on land (SDG15). This will be achieved through (1) Meta-SWOT analysis for the crop production system in the Baltic Sea neighbouring countries; (2) promote sorghum as a means of diversifying the food-feed-energy crop; (3) policy and regulation issues related to spreading agrobiodiversity within the food system; and (4) outreach, awareness and knowledge sharing.
