IntercropValueES aims to exploit the benefits of intercropping to design and manage productive, diversified, resilient, profitable and environmentally friendly cropping systems acceptable to farmers and actors in the agri-food chain.
The project will develop both a scientific research action for better understanding and modelling intimate intercrop functioning and a detailed analysis of lock-ins and levers at the value chain level to identify credible solutions that can be adopted by farmers and value chain actors. As a multi-disciplinary and multi-actor project, it brings together scientists and local actors representing food value chain. It includes 27 participants from 15 countries from a wide diversity of organizations and stakeholders.
