IntercropVALUES 2021-2025

IntercropVALUES aims to exploit the benefits of intercropping to design and manage productive, diversified, resilient, profitable, environmentally friendly cropping systems acceptable to farmers and actors in the agri-food chain. As a multi-disciplinary and multi-actor project, it brings together scientists and local actors representing the food value chain. It includes 27 participants from 15 countries (3 continents) from a wide diversity of organizations and stakeholders.

Projet Coordonné par E. Justes (CIRAD)

The project objectives

  1. Support the design of locally relevant, legitimate and innovative agrifood chains, through 13 Co-Innovation Case Studies (CICS).
  2. Understand, through 15 meta-experiments, the functioning and interactions of intercropping to maximise productivity and the provision of ecosystem services (ES).
  3. Generate knowledge, methods and tools for the management of associated crops and the evaluation of their performance and
    profitability.
  4. Understand intercropping performance by modelling (simulation studies providing novel information).
  5. To generate novel knowledge on the quality of grains harvested from cereal-legume intercrops in comparison with those of sole crops.
  6. To uncover key barriers and levers at the value chain level to boost the transition towards intercropping practices throughout EU agriculture.
