2020. Online catalog of commercial varieties of aromatic and medicinal plants .
- directory that includes mainly oriented varieties to the industrial (not ornamental) production of 196 MAP species, which come from nine commercial seed houses and five research institutes (mainly European) working on the selection and improvement of MAP.
- It is a tool for producers, but also for nurseries who want to expand their commercial offer beyond the strictly ornamental varieties and who are willing to produce a large volume of plant to supply productions on an industrial scale.
- The catalog makes it easier for MAPs producers to choose the varieties that best suit their soil and climatic conditions, their production lines and that meet the quality requirements set by the user industrial sectors.

2020-2022. New scenarios of Aromatic and medicinal industrial production in the traditional agricultural systems of Catalonia
- The project aims to analyze the behavior of different commercial varieties of a set of species of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) that could be grown on a commercial scale in different agricultural settings in Catalonia.
- The species cultivated in this project are: Melissa officinalis (melissa), Mentha x piperita (peppermint), Mentha spicata (spearmint), Lavandula angustifolia (lavender), Lavandula x intermedia (Lavendin), Thymus mastichina (wild marjoram), Satureja montana (savory), Matricaria chamomilla (chamomile) and Artemisia absinthium (wormwood), and different varieties will be tested.
- We have chosen those species that have good demand in the market both in dry plant and in essential oil and that can be adapted to different cultivation conditions and have been planted in three plots located in the counties of Les Garrigues, La Noguera and La Segarra.
