Conifers have large economic, ecological and societal values. However seeds are visibly running short in the context of climate change, which is already challenging the traditional seed-based plantation forestry with improved varieties to produce wood. Complementary strategies must be introduced to propagate trees efficiently. 

Our inten­tions are to:

• increase trans­paren­cy between pub­lic and for­est sci­ence knowl­edge and benefits
• present tra­di­tion­al breed­ing as well as plant­i­ng strate­gies and tech­nolo­gies in forestry
• intro­duce a com­ple­ment­ing sys­tem based on biotech­no­log­i­cal pos­si­bil­i­ties, mul­ti-vari­etal forestry, to pro­vide enough plant mate­r­i­al for future woods togeth­er with address­ing the ris­ing prob­lem of seed shortage
• offer access to cur­rent sci­en­tif­ic research
• report on the news and results of a joint EU/Argentina sci­en­tif­ic collaboration
