The first LEGUMINOSE summer school brought over 50 students and researchers together in Pakistan to explore cereal-legume intercropping. Through expert lectures, field visits, and group work, participants gained practical skills for more sustainable farming.
What happens when scientists come together to discuss the future of soil? In this recap from a leading European soil health conference, our coordinator Shamina shares her key takeaways — from turning research into practice to cultivating empathy for our soils.
How are Spanish farmers adopting intercropping? Learn about their experiences, key challenges, and why they see potential in this sustainable practice.
How does intercropping in the UK affect yields and farm profitability? The latest results from our 2024 field trials show increased land efficiency, higher crop resilience, and strong economic returns. Discover the key findings and how intercropping can benefit UK farmers
Curious about grain legume-cereal intercropping? Our latest research reveals key benefits, challenges, and strategies for adoption. Learn how this practice can boost soil health, yields, and sustainability.
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?
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.
