The project promotes comprehensive intervention and enables the long term conservation of endangered local grape varieties at the cross-border region in BG and GR. A mechanism will be developed for protection and conservation of species in general, based on the joint actions in the CB-region. The utilization of local traditional varieties will add CB-value and provide the option to produce a product which could be qualitative, unique and easily recognizable. The developed under the project experimental fields will secure the conservation and distribution of the genotypes after the project end.
