GROUND2LIVE adopts a living lab (LL) approach engaging key stakeholders (conventional and organic vegetable farmers, advisors, and scientists) in a collaborative effort to address real-world challenges and explore effective CC management techniques to create sustainable and climate resilient vegetable production systems and improve crop quality.
Projektets egen beskrivelse: Through this multi-actor approach, we seek to enhance the adoption and success of agroecological (AE) practices aimed at improving soil quality, optimizing nutrient utilization, and enhancing product nutritional value in intensive vegetable production systems.
These AE practices include solutions developed in LLs like integrating ground cover into vegetable crop rotations through under-sowing CCs or intercropping, as well as implementing non-inversion tillage methods to facilitate rapid CC succession.
By conducting experiments across a diverse range of soil and climatic conditions, our project will establish LLs in seven European countries, thereby contributing to the transformation of agriculture.
