AGROforestry and MIXed farming systems - Participatory research to drive the transition to a resilient and efficient land use in Europe

Descripción del proyecto

Investigación para un uso resiliente y eficiente de la tierra en Europa

Europa es uno de los continentes más intensivamente «usados» del planeta. Hasta el 80 % de su tierra se destina a sistemas de producción y asentamiento, en particular en el ámbito de la agricultura y la silvicultura. El proyecto AGROMIX, financiado con fondos europeos, se propone realizar una investigación participativa para impulsar la transición hacia un uso resiliente y eficiente de la tierra en Europa. Se centrará en soluciones agroecológicas prácticas para la gestión de la tierra y las explotaciones, así como de las cadenas de valor relacionadas. Además, utilizará una red de 83 centros que abarcan sistemas de las partes interesadas de la cadena de valor, el sector agroforestal y la agricultura mixta utilizados para medir, diseñar, modelizar, probar y mejorar estas soluciones.

Objetivo

The AGROMIX project aims to deliver participatory research to drive the transition to a resilient and efficient land use in Europe. It focuses on practical agroecological solutions for farm and land management and related value chains. AGROMIX makes use of a network of 83 sites with Mixed Farming (MF), AgroForestry (AF) or value chain stakeholder networks, which are used to measure, design, model, test and improve these systems. A nested approach will be used to conduct 12 co-design pilots across Europe. In addition, 6 replicated long-term trial sites are used for detailed analysis (crops and livestock). AGROMIX has six specific objectives: 1) Unlock the full potential of synergies in MF/AF systems. 2) Develop and promote value chains and infrastructure for MF/AF produce. 3) Develop the MIX-A toolkit to co-design and manage MF/AF systems in practice. 4) Identify and model transition scenarios. 5) Develop policy recommendations and action plans for a successful transition. 6) Maximise the impact and legacy of the project for building low-carbon climate-resilient farming systems. AGROMIX uses a transdisciplinary multi-actor research approach with 10 universities, 7 research institutes and 11 multi-actor partners. It will use Reflexive Interactive Design methodology to include stakeholders in participatory co-design and implementation of MF/AF systems. The research starts with a work package (WP1) on context, co-creating a resilience framework. WP2 on systems design and synergies is at the heart of project. WP3 on indicators and scenarios will refine the greenhouse gas inventories for MF/AF systems and model transition scenarios. WP4 develops and tests the MIX-application/serious game. Further WPs are on economics and value chains, and on policy co-development, action plans and dissemination delivering impact and exploitation through practical innovations on farms, in value chains, at different policy levels and through communication and knowledge hubs across Europe.
