Dairy farmers’ adaptation strategies in uplands [Practice Abstract]
Climate change increases the vulnerability of grassland-based production systems given that it affects the annual distribution of forage production and enhances its inter-annual variability.
The challenge of designing farming systems experiments with a diversity of stakeholders [Practice Abstract]
Today, research and development organisations are urged to collaborate with stakeholders to design and test ‘solutions’ that are considered virtuous and desirable to all involved. This changes the missions and work of those conducting research and development activities.
Choosing strip width and strip length in stripcropping [Practice Abstract]
Stripcropping is a cultivation method in which multiple crops are grown side by side in long, narrow strips. How should farmers determine strip width and length? A factsheet on stripcropping and mechanization summarizes key considerations.
‘Social distancing’ in arable farming: stripcropping can reduce the risk of pests and diseases [Practice Abstract]
Stripcropping is often regarded as a system that enhances resilience. But does it indeed increase biodiversity, and how does this affect pests and diseases? A factsheet for farmers summarizes recent research.
Stable yield with stripcropping – same or slightly higher yield in organic arable farming in the Netherlands with 3 or 6 metre strips [Practice Abstract]
Stripcropping is a cultivation method where multiple crops are grown side by side in long, narrow strips. Does it affect yields? Wageningen University & Research (WUR) in the Netherlands, researchers summarized results from three Dutch organic farm experiments in a farmer factsheet.
Sharing agroecological practices between farmers on mixed crop-livestock farms in Guadeloupe, using the Poul Genm game, a reinvented board game [Practice Abstract]
Based on the game of goose, this board game tells the story of Poul Genm (in Guadeloupean Creole) settling on a mixed farming and livestock farm in the Caribbean, highlighting its good initiatives and missteps.
