EIP - Ancient Cereals

Descriptions

There is increasing demand from artisan bakers, and more commercial outlets, for ancient species of cereals which are becoming increasingly popular with consumers. Although the demand for these ancient cereal species has increased, it can be difficult to produce them in an economically viable manner, given generally low yields.This project seeks to trial several agronomic practices (seed rates and undersowing) for ancient cereal species to identify the most appropriate methods of production on three Welsh farms which are managed to organic standards.Further details are available on the attached document.
