About
Breeding is a Research and Innovation Action (RIA) under the Horizon Europe topic HORIZON-CL6-2025-FARMTOFORK-07, funded by the European Union, running from June 2026 to May 2030. Led by the Agricultural Research Organization (ARO), the project brings together 20 partners across Europe and associated countries. Its mission is to develop integrated, data-driven solutions for enhancing heat resilience in sheep through advanced phenotyping, multi-omics, and information technologies. This page serves as the project’s Information Technology Communication Platform (ITCP), supporting data integration, collaboration, and dissemination of project outcomes.
