Collaboration for increased understanding on health
effects of rye started in 1994. Two separate projects "Rye and health" (1994-1996) and
"Rye phytoprotectants" (1997-2000) were carried out at the beginning.
The projects were funded by the Nordic Industrial Fund and
Nordic cereal industry. In addition, several
national projects have been carried out in Finland, Sweden and Denmark. The Nordic Rye
Group has been active in organising meetings and discussing and disseminating research
results.
