Soil microbes: The hidden world beneath our feet
Soil microbes play key roles in nutrient cycling, plant health, and sustainable agriculture. We are exploring the microbial communities in legume-cereal intercropping.
Monitoring crop pests in intercropped fields
What effect does intercropping have on pests and diseases? We are conducting thorough analyses to find out.
From field to future: The impact of living labs
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?
LEGUMINOSE project meeting in Spain
We recently met in Spain to discuss our progress. Let’s recap our meeting.
What does sustainable agriculture research look like?
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.
Promoting sustainable agriculture practices at Agro Park 2024
We recently took part in the dynamic Agro Park agricultural fair, where our Polish partners showcased our commitment to advancing sustainable agriculture through intercropping.
An alternative to monoculture: 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.
Intercropping: a beacon of hope for sustainable agriculture
A new article on Illuminem, featuring our project, explains the potential of intercropping to reconcile economic interests and environmental sustainability.
We can learn from the past to make agriculture more sustainable
A new article on RealClearScience explains the benefits of intercropping and provides insights into first results from one of our UK field trials.
New video: Making agriculture more sustainable with intercropping
A European project aims to make agriculture more sustainable and increase food security through legume-cereal intercropping
