The Institute for Mediterranean and Subtropical Horticulture "La Mayora" (IHSM-UMA-CSIC) was created in 2010 as a synergy between consolidated research groups from the experimental station "La Mayora" of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones cientÃficas (CSIC) and from the University of Málaga (UMA). The Institute aims to promote and coordinate the current scientific research in intensive horticulture and subtropical fruit production already developed by these groups.
In From Field to Europe Seminar we visited this institute in Algarrobo, where we have the chance to learn about different tropical fruits (advocat or mango) and how this kind of Science Centres could transfer the knowledge to the local farmers.
