What is AGROMIX?

AGROMIX is a research and innovation project that supports the transition towards resilient farming,
efficient land use, and sustainable agricultural value chains in Europe. To do so, a team of 28 partners from
across the region work with farmers and land managers to create practical tools that support farmers to
transition from conventional agriculture towards agroforestry and mixed farming methods, and to
generate policy recommendations that would support this transition.

What are the benefits of agroforestry and mixed farming?

Integrating trees with crops and/or livestock captures carbon, regenerates soil, increases biodiversity, improves animal welfare, diversifies farmers’ income, and can increase productivity in comparison to conventional agriculture production.

Where does the project’s name come from?

‘AGROMIX’ fuses the two main agricultural practices that the project supports: Agroforestry (AGRO-) and mixed farming (-MIX). These two systems integrate trees, crops and/or livestock in one land area, and are considered to be more resilient farming and land use systems than conventional methods.

What is the project’s duration?

The project started the 1st November 2020 and lasts for four years, until the 31st October 2024.

How is it funded?

The project has a budget of 6.9 million euros, and is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.

Who is involved in the project?

The project is coordinated by Coventry University (UK), and brings together 28 public and private partners including 10 universities, 7 research institutes, and 11 multi-actor partners from 14 countries across Europe.
