Crop diversity for a transition towards sustainable agriculture

Arable farmers, researchers and chain partners are joining forces to achieve a breakthrough in the transition to sustainable arable farming in the five-year research programme CropMix. The focus is on increasing crop diversity, in particular through strip cropping. By doing so, we want to bring ecology and arable farming together and drive the societal transition to a more sustainable, ecology-based agricultural system.

MoestuinMix: first results and registration 2025 now open!

A common question from arable farmers considering strip cropping or other forms of mixed cropping is: which crops go well together? To find out, we enlisted the help of some 800 experienced and inexperienced vegetable gardeners to test different combinations in our experiment called MoestuinMix. The first results are in and registration for the new season is open!
