Meijer partner in study ADAPT

Meijer Potato will be an active partner in the research project "Accelerated Development of multiple-stress tolerAnt PoTato", known as the ADAPT project. ADAPT's mission is to develop new strategies to make potatoes fit for the changing growth conditions of the future.

ADAPT will dig deep in the physiological and molecular behaviour of potato under stresses like heat, drought and flooding. This will help us to breed future proof robust varieties.

"This is a challenging subject which you can only tackle with huge efforts together. We are happy to be part of a diverse, international research group in which we expect true scientific heterosis!"

- Guus Heselmans, Manager R&D
