Aim of the Project: Coordinated by Coventry University, AGROMIX brings together researchers, farmers and policymakers to explore the transition towards resilient farming, efficient land management, and sustainable agricultural value chains in Europe. Funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, this four-year project brings together 28 partners from 14 countries (10 universities, 11 multi-actor partners, and seven research institutes), using multi-actor co-design methods to promote and implement agroforestry and mixed farming methods through 12 pilot sites and 6 long-term trial sites across the region. AGROMIX uses its field experience to develop knowledge platforms, interactive material such as augmented reality and mobile applications, economic models, and policy recommendations to integrate agroecology into current land management frameworks.
