More than 300 authors from 17 countries sent their works for the congress and more than 200 attended it in person.

Researcher Leonardo Aboim Pires states:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was very important to discuss how interdisciplinarity can be a way forward for this type of study. I would highlight the sessions on archaeobotany, but also others with themes equally connected to the project, such as food heritage, agricultural production in institutional contexts such as monasteries, or the use of new tools such as Geographic Information Systems in historical research.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>From Coimbra to Cluj-Napoca<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A few days later, the ReSEED team landed in Cluj-Napoca (Romania) for the <a href=\"https:\/\/hiphi.ubbcluj.ro\/rural\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VI Biennial Conference of the European Rural History Organisation (EURHO), the Rural History 2023<\/a>.

Agricultural innovations, sustainability, mobility, social inequalities and challenges such as wars and diseases, land ownership, the evolution of agricultural landscapes, and others. They were addressed from social, economic and commercial approaches, in the long term or at specific moments, at transnational and local scales, in a more theoretical or practical way. It was a very fruitful week of discussions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/reseed.uc.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Foto-1.jpeg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Researcher Alberto G.
