NEW! We've secured collaboration agreements so students can co-create real solutions with:
•Fertiprado – biodiversity-rich seed mixes & rhizobium tech (Portugal/Spain).

•ANPROMIS & Agromais – the country's maize producers and largest cereal/veg coop.

•Sugal Group – Europe's tomato-processing powerhouse (plants in PT & ES).
