5: Designing mixtures for agroecological value chains

The upcoming symposium titled "Designing varietal and species mixtures for agroecological value chains" aims to explore innovative methodologies, tools, and metrics for integrating varietal and species mixtures into agricultural systems for agroecological value chains. This event will feature three main themes, each comprising a comprehensive literature review followed by focused presentations and interactive discussions. The symposium will also feature testimonials and demonstrations of tools for designing and managing varietal and species mixtures, highlighting their role in agroecological transition of value chains. It will include testimonials from practitioners and researchers sharing their experiences, along with hands-on demonstrations of relevant tools and technologies.

The "Designing varietal and species mixtures for agroecological value chains" symposium promises to be an enriching event that bridges the gap between research and practice in agroecology. By focusing on design (Strategic part), implementation (Tactical part), and assessment (Methodological part), the symposium aims to provide participants with the knowledge and tools necessary to advance sustainable agricultural practices towards agroecological value chains. Through collaborative discussions and shared experiences, attendees will contribute to the ongoing development of effective varietal and species mixtures that enhance agricultural resilience and productivity.
