Camelina day - UNTWIST field days

This day will provide an opportunity to present the European UNTWIST project, which aims to understand camelina's tolerance mechanisms to water and heat stress, while adapting it to different cropping modalities. It will also provide an opportunity to visit trial plots and discuss the potential and challenges associated with this crop, particularly in the case of summer intercropping and mixed cropping.

Program
> Presentation of the UNTWIST project
> Tour of the experimental Camelina plots
> Exchange of experiences and discussion of practices and resources related to Camelina cultivation
