International, interdisciplinary, intense. The biennial conference of the European Rural History Organisation (EURHO) at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and Uppsala University, in Sweden, lived up to the ReSEED team\u2019s expectations. The Rural History 2021 took place one year later, from 20-23 of June 2022, due to challenges related to the Covid-19 pandemic. It was worth waiting for it, according to researcher Carlos Manuel Fa\u00edsca: \u201cIts international dimension allowed us to exchange knowledge with researchers from very different realities, enabling enriching perspectives to our work\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Principal Investigator Dulce Freire and researcher Leonardo Aboim Pires contributed with the paper \u201cSelecting, electing, eliminating: fruit production and agricultural improvement in Portugal, c. 1750- c.1850\u201d. Gonz\u00e1lez evaluation of the session was positive: \u201cIt had a large audience and a high level of acceptance. There were interesting questions and feedback, which lasted beyond the session itself\u201d.<\/p>\n Freire pointed out both the discussion about specific aspects (such as those related to wheat and rye varieties) and more general issues by the comparison with other countries, namely Sweden. She also participated in another session, called \u201cDeveloping a taste for the new: Global exchange and regional adoption of foods\u201d with the communication \u201cFrom farm to fork: new crops challenging agriculture and food in the Iberian Peninsula (16th and 18th centuries)\u201d.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/reseed.uc.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Site-3.jpeg” title_text=”Site 3″ align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” alt=”Principal Investigator Dulce Freire presenting the paper \u201cFrom farm to fork: new crops challenging agriculture and food in the Iberian Peninsula (16th and 18th centuries)\u201d at the Rural History Conference in Uppsala, Sweden.” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ custom_margin=”0px||” custom_padding=”0px||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Principal Investigator Dulce Freire presenting the paper \u201cFrom farm to fork: new crops challenging agriculture and food in the Iberian Peninsula (16th and 18th centuries)\u201d at the Rural History Conference in Uppsala, Sweden.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ text_font=”Fira Sans|300|||||||” text_font_size=”15px” header_font=”Fira Sans||||||||” custom_margin=”25px||0px|||” custom_padding=”0px|||||” link_option_url_new_window=”on” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Other Contributions<\/strong><\/p>\n In the panels or in the talks during the breaks, it was possible to connect with researchers from different fields and discuss key issues for ReSEED. Aboim Pires highlighted the sessions “New perspectives on grain storage”, \u201cHistory of Horticulture\u201d and “Maize for the people”. The latter discussed one of the project\u00b4s current study objects, offering the opportunity to learn about social processes surrounding the introduction and cultivation of maize in other European areas.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/reseed.uc.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Site-1.jpeg” title_text=”Site 1″ align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” alt=”The researchers representing the ReSEED Project at the Rural History Conference in Uppsala, from the left: Alberto Gonz\u00e1lez, Carlos Manuel Fa\u00edsca, Leonardo Aboim Pires and Dulce Freire. ” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ custom_margin=”0px||” custom_padding=”0px||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n The researchers representing the ReSEED Project at the Rural History Conference in Uppsala, from the left: Alberto Gonz\u00e1lez, Carlos Manuel Fa\u00edsca, Leonardo Aboim Pires and Dulce Freire. <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ text_font=”Fira Sans|300|||||||” text_font_size=”15px” header_font=”Fira Sans||||||||” custom_margin=”25px||0px|||” custom_padding=”0px|||||” link_option_url_new_window=”on” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Another relevant debate focused on the evolution of local varieties of dryland cereals – wheat and rye – from the knowledge obtained by archaeobotany. \u00a0Keynote speaker at the conference and professor emeritus at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Janken Myrdal also discussed an approach to sources and the construction of knowledge very similar to what ReSEED has been doing.<\/p>\n Linnaeus\u2019 Hammarby<\/strong><\/p>\n The summer house of botanist Carl Linnaeus was visited by the team in an excursion organised by the conference.
