Mixtures of several forage-plant species systematically increase yields with lower fertiliser input. Higher temperatures enhance the benefits of these mixtures, making them a key component of #ClimateChange adaptation. 👇

@fao.org: The crisis in input delivery and prices is an important moment to rethink farmers' dependence of agrochemicals, and invest in more resilient ways to farm the land. Relevant terms are agroecology, organic farming, sustainable farming, conservation farming - all missing in this statement.

This week our 11 Innovation Hubs have converged in Roskilde, Denmark to share results on #agroecology and celebrate our achievements as we look ahead beyond the end of the project… so much powerful work on transitions to share!

Agroecology isn't just about changing how we farm, it's about changing the system around it ✅ Scaling up in Europe is limited by conditions farmers face as much as by knowledge 👉 Read about the barriers and levers policy makers can address www.agroecology-transect.net/resources/po... #agroecology

Did you know that long-term use of agriecological practices support climate change resilience? 👨‍🌾🌱 🟢 For example, planting legumes alongside other crops – a centuries-old practice – can improve soil fertility and water infiltration into the soil.
