LEGUMINOSE Summer School - Institute of Agronomy

Intercropping offers a more sustainable and resilient alternative to monoculture farming. Yet designing site-specific intercrops that balance complementarity and competition remains a challenge. Crop modelling and scenario analysis can help address this complexity by linking field processes to informed decision making.

The Summer School “Modelling Intercropping Systems: From Analysis to Decision Making” offers a dedicated space to explore how modelling can support intercropping research and decision making. It provides participants with both theoretical foundations and hands-on experience in modelling intercropping systems using the process-based InterCrop model, developed within the LEGUMINOSE project. Through a combination of lectures and practical training, participants will explore how modelling can support the design and assessment of intercropping systems.
