ELIA’s mission is to empower individuals, farmers, and communities to drive sustainable crop production by making informed choices that minimize environmental impact. 

We are particularly interested in innovative, ecologically resilient farming practices and we support local production systems that ensure economic viability. We believe that the strategic use of eco-technology and collaborative partnerships between communities and governments, will incentivize and scale eco-friendly agriculture, fostering a future where food systems thrive in harmony with nature.

At ELIA, we study how plants grow and adapt to their environment, focusing on abiotic factors such as drought, heat, and mineral toxicity. Our goal is to understand these mechanisms to support more sustainable agricultural practices. More info

ELIA’s research on plant reproduction and genetics focuses on the mechanisms controlling flowering and plant–pollinator interactions. We study both cultivated species to improve agricultural resilience and wild species to support ecosystem management. A key priority is understanding how climate change affects plant reproduction and pollination dynamics.
