IntercropValueES aims to exploit benefits of intercropping to design and manage productive, diversified, resilient, profitable, environmentally friendly cropping systems acceptable to farmers and actors in the agri-food chain. It will develop both a scientific research action for better understanding and modelling intimate intercrop functioning and a detailed analysis of lock-ins and levers at the value chain level to identify credible solutions that can be adopted by farmers and value chain actors. As a multi-disciplinary and multi-actor project, it brings together scientists and local actors representing food value chain. It includes 27 participants from 15 countries (3 continents) from a wide diversity of organizations and stakeholders. IntercropValuES organizes its activities in 6 objectives, to: 1) support the design of locally relevant, legitimate and innovative agri-food chains, through 13 Co-Innovation Case Studies; 2) understand the functioning and G*G*E*M interactions allowing the selection of compatible ideotypes and the optimization of machinery and management strategies for maximizing the productivity and delivery of ecosystem services with better soil health and mitigation of GHG (meta experiment 15 sites); 3) produce novel information, improved methods and tools for intercrop management and the assessment of their performance and profitability; 4) unravel intercropping performance by modelling; 5) analyze grain and sanitary quality of cereal-legume intercrops, functional qualities for food processing and new products, 6) uncover key barriers and levers at the value chain level to boost development, and identify new market avenues and solutions to increase economic added-value of intercrops. The Comms and Dissemination Plan is designed to diffuse outcomes widely by adapted channels to different end-users, such as farmers, advisors, food processing companies and machinery industries, retailers and citizens, academia, policymakers and influence bodies.

IntercropValueES 旨在利用间作的优势来设计和管理农民和农业食品链中的参与者可接受的高效、多样化、有弹性、有利可图、环境友好的种植系统。它将开展一项科学研究行动，以更好地理解和模拟亲密间作作物的功能，并对价值链层面的锁定和杠杆进行详细分析，以确定农民和价值链参与者可以采用的可靠解决方案。作为一个多学科、多参与者的项目，它汇集了代表食品价值链的科学家和当地参与者。它包括来自 15 个国家（三大洲）的 27 名参与者，他们来自不同的组织和利益相关者。 IntercropValuES 的活动有 6 个目标，旨在： 1) 通过 13 个联合创新案例研究，支持当地相关、合法和创新的农业食品链的设计； 2) 了解功能和 G*G*E*M 相互作用，允许选择兼容的表型并优化机械和管理策略，以最大限度地提高生产力和提供生态系统服务，改善土壤健康并减少温室气体排放（元实验 15 个地点）； 3）为间作管理及其绩效和盈利能力评估提供新颖的信息、改进的方法和工具； 4）通过建模揭示间作性能； 5) 分析谷类-豆类间作作物的谷物和卫生质量、食品加工和新产品的功能品质，6) 揭示价值链层面促进发展的关键障碍和杠杆，并确定新的市场途径和解决方案，以提高间作作物的经济附加值。传播和传播计划旨在通过适当的渠道向不同的最终用户广泛传播成果，例如农民、顾问、食品加工公司和机械行业、零售商和公民、学术界、政策制定者和影响力机构。
