“…Modern cultivars showed about twice and thrice the dough W values of the landraces, and about a 50% and 100% greater P, respectively (Sanchez‐Garcia and others ). However, no significant differences were observed between 7 old (Sieve, Verna, Gentil Rosso, Andriolo, Gambo di ferro, Frassineto, and Abbondanza), 2 mixtures, and 4 modern (Bolero, Blasco, Arabia, and Bologna) varieties, in terms of P/L (Migliorini and others ). Gluten Index (GI) was higher for modern cultivars than for landraces and old durum wheat varieties (Motzo and others , Fois and others ).…”

“…Overall, Di Silvestro and others () found that old common wheat varieties had better nutrient contents when cultivated under low‐input conditions compared to the modern ones, which are strictly dependent on high levels of fertilization. Therefore, beside breeding history, the biosynthesis and accumulation of micronutrients are closely influenced by genotype, environmental conditions (Migliorini and others ), and farming systems (Rizzello and others ).…”

“…Nevertheless, protein content, rather than gluten quality, has a dominant role in determining pasta cooking quality of high‐temperature‐dried pasta (Dexter and Matsuo ; D'Egidio and other ), explaining why some durum wheat old varieties such as Senatore Cappelli and others give good pasta texture (Fois and others ). Regarding bread‐making, breads from landraces were scored as acceptable by consumers (Migliorini and others ). Although modern bread wheat varieties showed great variability in bread‐making quality attributes (Sanchez‐Garcia and others ), the landrace Andriolo showed interesting sensory aspects (Migliorini and others ).…”

For centuries, ancient grains fed populations, but due to their low yield, they were abandoned and replaced by high-yielding species. However, currently, there is a renewed interest in ancient wheat and pseudocereal grains from consumers, farmers, and manufacturers. Ancient wheat such as einkorn, emmer, spelt, and Kamut R , are being reintegrated because of their low fertilizer input, high adaptability and important genetic diversity. New trends in pseudocereal products are also emerging, and they are mostly appreciated for their nutritional outcomes, particularly by the gluten-free market. Toward healthier lifestyle, ancient grains-based foodstuffs are a growing business and their industrialization is taking 2 pathways, either as a raw ingredient or a functional ingredient. This paper deals with these grain characteristics by focusing on the compositional profile and the technological potential.

“…Because producing and selling seeds is an activity specifically controlled by seed companies, organic farmers have more obstacles to access organic species and locally adapted varieties due to official seed regulations, organic certification, and markets limitations than do agroecological farmers. A strategy gaining popularity is to develop local varieties and population with participatory and evolutionary plant breeding and small seed exchange networks among farmers (Migliorini et al 2016).…”

There is ongoing debate among stakeholders about the future development of agricultural and food systems to meet the global challenges of food supply, biological and cultural diversity, climate change, and social justice. Among other options, agroecology and organic agriculture are discussed. Both have similar goals and use a systems approach; however, they are recognised and received differently by stakeholders. Here we review and compare principles and practices defined and described in EU organic agriculture regulations, International Federation of Organic Agricultural Movement (IFOAM) norms, and agroecology scientific literature. The main finding are as follows: (1) Regarding principles, EU organic regulations mainly focus on appropriate design and management of biological processes based on ecological systems, restriction of external inputs, and strict limitation of chemical inputs. IFOAM principles are very broad and more complete, and include a holistic and systemic vision of sustainability. Agroecology has a defined set of principles for the ecological management of agri-food systems, which also includes some socio-economic principles.(2) Many proposed cropping practices are similar for EU organic, IFOAM, and agroecology, e.g. soil tillage, soil fertility and fertilisation, crop and cultivar choice, crop rotation, as well as pest, disease and weed management. In contrast, the origin and quantity of products potentially used for soil fertilisation and pest, disease, and weed management are different. Additionally, some practices are only mentioned for one of the three sources. (3) In animal production, only a few proposed practices are similar for EU organic, IFOAM, and agroecology. These include integration of cropping and animal systems and breed choice. In contrast, practices for animal management, prevention methods in animal health, animal housing, animal welfare, animal nutrition, and veterinary management are defined or described differently. (4) Related to food systems, organic agriculture focusses on technical aspects, such as food processing, while in agroecology there is a prominent debate between a transformative and conformative agenda. Both agroecology and organic agriculture offer promising contributions for the future development of sustainable agricultural production and food systems, especially if their principles and practices converge to a transformative approach and that impedes the conventionalisation of agro-food systems.

“…Recent literature reports the content of phenolics in different varieties of wheat grains or in their different fractions (bran, break flour, reduction flour, and shorts), among which wheat bran has the highest concentration (Adom and Liu 2002; Mattila et al 2005). However, limited data are available regarding phenolic profiles in wheat landraces, which have been recognized to have peculiar contents of health‐promoting phytochemicals (Dinelli et al 2009; Pasqualone et al 2014; Migliorini et al 2016).…”

Durum wheat landraces have been recognized to have different contents in health‐promoting phytochemicals. These health benefits have been mainly attributed to the presence of phenolic acids and flavonoids existing in this matrix both as soluble free compounds and insoluble bound forms. Sicily is one of the few areas of Southern Europe where it is still possible to find landraces of durum wheat, no longer cropped because of the commercial spread of new high‐yielding varieties. This study aimed to determine the phenolic profile and content of 10 wheat landraces and three genetically improved cultivars to develop an analytical tool for cultivar screening and traceability. Hydroalcoholic extracts from wheat grains were analyzed by means of HPLC with a diode‐array detector and HPLC electrospray ionization MS, revealing 13 metabolites belonging mainly to the classes of hydroxycinnamic acids and flavones C‐glycosides. The quantitative pattern of the 13 phenolic markers, analyzed by applying stepwise linear discriminant analysis, allowed the discrimination between the two groups under study, namely, modern cultivars and durum wheat landraces. Furthermore, all 13 durum wheat varieties were perfectly discriminated in this statistical model, confirming a specific and genotype‐dependent pattern of phenolics concentration.
