As conventional cropping systems face deterioration of soil quality, loss of biodiversity, and declining ecosystem services, there isan urgent need to change practices to more sustainable yet productive systems. Intercropping enhances biodiversity, maximizes landproductivity, and optimizes biogeochemical cycles in agroecosystems, but is lacking acceptance from European farmers. Legume-basedintercropping takes advantage of biological diversity and synergistic effects between companion plants while reducing external inputs. Amajor objective of LEGUMINOSE is to identify the obstacles to intercropping and enhance farmers’ acceptance by providing knowledgeand demonstrations that promote economic, environmental, and social benefits of legume-cereal intercropping. LEGUMINOSE willassess intercropping potential by focusing on pesticide reduction, plant-microbe mediated element cycling, soil health improvement, andcrop quality and health. To overcome barriers to intercropping implementation, we will establish a network of six field trials and farmlabs (20 farms in each country; 180 on-farm trials) in different pedo-climatic zones across Europe (IT, DE, DR, ES, PL, CZ, UK), Egypt,and Pakistan. Furthermore, we will integrate remote sensing and crop modelling to survey fields, upscale the field-scale results, andcreate a web-based decision support system on intercropping. In collaboration with various stakeholders, legume-intercropping systems'economical, ecological, and social gains will be assessed and disseminated with international outreach from farm-level to policymakers.We will recognize and involve the whole value chain to explore and test innovative marketing strategies for the products of intercropping.LEGUMINOSE will contribute to the ecological intensification of European agriculture by providing science-based, farmer-led, andeconomically viable transformations for legume-based intercropping systems.

随着传统的种植系统面临土壤质量的定义，生物多样性丧失以及生态系统服务下降，伊森迫切需要将实践更改为更可持续但有效的系统。间作增强生物多样性，最大化土地生产力，并优化农业生态系统的生物地球化学周期，但缺乏欧洲农民的接受。基于豆类的间作利用了伴侣植物之间的生物多样性和协同作用，同时减少了外部投入。豆科植物的Amajor目标是通过提供促进豆类 - 谷物间间隔的经济，环境和社会利益的知识和示威来确定间行和增强农民接受的障碍。豆科素糖威尔·威尔斯（Leguminose Willassess Interpop）的潜力通过着重于农药减少，植物 - 微生物介导的元素循环，土壤健康改善以及杂种质量和健康。为了克服实施间行的障碍，我们将在欧洲不同的pedo气候区（IT，DE，DE，DE，DR，DR，ES，PL，CZ，UK），埃及和巴基斯坦建立一个六个现场试验和农布（每个国家的20个农场；在每个国家的20个农场； 180个农场试验）。此外，我们将将遥远灵敏度和作物建模集成到调查领域，高档现场尺度结果并创建基于Web的决策支持系统，以进行间断。通过与各种利益相关者合作，将评估和传播豆类交流系统的经济，生态和社会成就，并通过从农场到决策者的国际宣传来进行评估和传播。我们将认识并涉及整个价值链，并涉及整个价值链，以探索和测试与欧洲化学的欧洲化学能力促进欧洲化学的促进型生态学的创新营销策略。基于豆类的间作系统的生态学上可行的转换。
