Diverfarming consortium come together to develop and deploy innovative farming and agribusiness strategies. Diverfarming will increase the long-term resilience, sustainability and economic revenues of agriculture across the EU by assessing the real benefits and minimising the limitations, barriers and drawbacks of diversified cropping systems under low-input agronomic practices that are tailor-made to fit the unique characteristics of six EU pedoclimatic regions (Mediterranean south and north, Atlantic central, Continental, Pannonian and Boreal), and by adapting and optimising the downstream value chains organization.<\/p><p>This approach will provide: i) increased overall land productivity; ii) more rational use of farm land and farming inputs (water, energy, machinery, fertilisers, pesticides); ii) improved delivery of ecosystem services by increments in biodiversity and soil quality; iii) proper organization of downstream value chains adapted to the new diversified cropping systems with decreased use of energy; and iv) access to new markets and reduced economy risks by adoption of new products in time and space. The diversified cropping systems will be tested in field case studies for major crops within each pedoclimatic region. In the end, Diverfarming focuses on research and innovation for rural development, with emphasis on developing new framework systems and business models adapted to the rural context of each pedoclimatic area of the EU, to foster sustainable growth through adoption of diversification, sustainable practices and efficient use of resources.<\/p><p>Web site:&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.diverfarming.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.diverfarming.eu<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ebd0856 e-con-full cf-foot e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ebd0856\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f56c03 cf-funding elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8f56c03\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"231\" src=\"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/eu_funded_en.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-7606\" alt=\"Funded by the European Union\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/eu_funded_en.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/eu_funded_en-300x63.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/eu_funded_en-1024x215.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/eu_funded_en-768x161.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-291ad0b cf-back elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"291ad0b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"\/en\/research\/european-rd-projects-check\/\">\u2190 Back to European R&#038;D projects<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>European R&amp;D project \u2013 2017 Crop diversification and low-input farming across Europe: from practitioners engagement and ecosystems services to increased revenues and value chan organisation Project details Reference 728003 &#x2197; Execution period 01\/05\/2017 &#8211; 30\/04\/2022 Type European projects of the Marco program Funding body European Administration H2020 Program Coordinator Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Cartagena (Spain) Consortium [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[511],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3678","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-proyectos-europeos-2017"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3678"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3678\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14188,"href":"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3678\/revisions\/14188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cigip.webs.upv.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
