OrganicYieldsUP collaborates with pilot projects throughout Europe to develop and test mixed farming and agroforestry systems via a participatory co-design process. The goal is to enhance both environmental and socio-economic resilience.

These projects are situated in three distinct agro-climatic zones across Europe, utilizing various land management systems and socio-economic contexts, reflecting a diverse range of European farming systems.

The pilot projects will be executed in two phases: initially, the participatory design approach will be tested in six projects; subsequently, the methodology will be refined and implemented in the remaining six projects.
