Strip-cropping and recycling of waste for biodiverse and resource-efficient intensive vegetable production

SUREVEG

To meet the interwoven needs of the organic vegetable sector comprising ecological intensification, resilience, fertilization and contribution to common goods, the aim of SUREVEG is to improve productivity, biodiversity and soil fertility, decreasing use of non-organic fertilizers and bio-pesticides, and decreasing environmental and climate impact in intensive organic vegetable cropping systems.

SUREVEG articulates stakeholder needs and provides information on the design and performance of strip intercropping systems, agroecological traits, fertility strategies based on pre-treated organic residues, system functional biodiversity of relevant organism groups focused on roles for system resilience, pest buffering and soil function, and develops agronomic technology suited for strip intercropping.
