Species mixtures deliver increased productivity while reducing external inputs and nutrient losses. Furthermore, they can ensure high food quality and farmers’ income. The conference "Intercropping to boost agroecology in European Agriculture" by ReMIX and DIVERSify is a perfect opportunity to discuss how species mixtures contribute to the shift to more sustainable food systems and preserve ecosystems, which are major goals of the EU’s Farm to Fork and Biodiversity Strategies. Presentations from experts in the field and two panel debates will deepen the role of intercropping in the EU’s agrifood chains and agroecology. FiBL will present the policy brief "Intercropping in organic farming, a solution to increase the production in OF".
