MIXED has been fortunate to establish collaboration with three outstanding experts to provide advice and feedback to the project and further share their expertise with the MIXED group to support implementation and strengthen impact

The EU Horizon2020 project, MIXED, was featured at the Landscape2021 conference 20-22. September 2021 - a conference that brought together scientists from across disciplines with key actors to explore whether and how diversity and diversification can contribute to a more sustainable and resilient agriculture.

Researchers in the EU project, MIXED, have developed a supportive guide - the Handbook of indicators - to be used in the collection of farm level data across all work areas in MIXED.

The project management of the MIXED project has volunteered the project to be a so-called Open Data Research Pilot . A data management plan has now been developed, which describes the data management life cycle for data collected, processed and/or generated in MIXED.

Last week, the Danish MIXED team held a so-called back-casting workshop and had summoned various relevant actors to discuss and map the challenges and, not least, the paths forward for mixed farming and agroforestry in Denmark.

How can three projects, MIXED, AGROMIX and STARGATE, funded by the EU’s research programme Horizon2020, collaborate and benefit from each other’? That is what we will investigate in a joint workshop on 14 June.

A new big EU research project will explore different types of mixed agricultural systems, incl. agroforestry. The assumption is that the mixed way of farming holds many benefits – both in terms of general sustainability, resilience to climate change, better utilization of nutrients and biodiversity. Aarhus University, together with International Centre for Research in Organic Food Systems (ICROFS), will lead the MIXED project
