ERA-CAPS
ERA-CAPS (ERA-Net for Coordinating Action in Plant Sciences) is a network of research funding agencies supporting research in Molecular Plant Sciences. The network has outlined the following major challenges:
- healthy, safe and sufficient food,
- plant-based products – chemicals and energy,
- sustainable agriculture, forestry and landscape.
