Shamina Imran Pathan of the LEGUMINOSE project highlights the importance of two-way communication with farmers to promote legume-cereal intercropping.
Curious about intercropping legumes and cereals?
This practical guide answers key questions about soil health, pest control, harvesting, and market opportunities for farmers.
Soil microbes play key roles in nutrient cycling, plant health, and sustainable agriculture. We are exploring the microbial communities in legume-cereal intercropping.
What effect does intercropping have on pests and diseases? We are conducting thorough analyses to find out.
Together with farmers, we are trying legume-cereal intercropping on 180 farms in 9 countries? But what exactly are living labs and how do they contribute to shaping sustainable agriculture?
We recently met in Spain to discuss our progress. Let’s recap our meeting.
Across Europe, our scientists are digging deep into the soil to explore the potential of intercropping for fostering a more sustainable agriculture. Learn more about the samples they are taking and what they are trying to find out.
We recently took part in the dynamic Agro Park agricultural fair, where our Polish partners showcased our commitment to advancing sustainable agriculture through intercropping.
In agriculture, two is better than one: Growing two (or more) crops is a sustainable alternative to monoculture. A new article on CORDIS highlights our goal to raise awareness and improve acceptance for legume-cereal intercropping.
A new article on Illuminem, featuring our project, explains the potential of intercropping to reconcile economic interests and environmental sustainability.
