| Name: | Action 859 Phytotechnologies to Promote Sustainable Land Use Management and Improve Food Chain Safety |
| Coordinating organisation: | Department of Environment Protection, Faculty of Environmental Engineering, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University |
| Description: | The main objective of the Action is to provide a sound understanding of the absorption/exclusion, translocation, storage or detoxification mechanisms of essential or toxic mineral elements, as well as organic contaminants, and to prepare the best use of plants for sustainable land use management and improve food safety. Its aims are to: •Understand and control the fate of pollutants in plants and food, non-food and technical crops. •Optimise the remediation and controlling capacities of plants and thus make phytotechnologies more economically and socially attractive. •Decrease the level and transfer of contaminants along the food chain. •Specifically increase the content of essential minerals in food crops (fortified food). It will enable significant progress to be made towards the sustainable use of land and water resources, the restoration of contaminated sites and the future supply of safe and fortified food. |
