The purpose of the GrEaTest is to improve the local population of beans “Giants” Prespa and the local population of beans “Elephants” Prespa by using new cultivation techniques and also new – omic technologies so that the new populations (varieties) will have all the characteristics that will emerge of traditional indigenous peoples without foreign involvement and to be entered in the National and Community Catalog of Varieties to protect themselves from future risks of genetic mixing and loss.
