About the Project
SIMONE will identify, deliver, and evaluate innovations that involve technical, environmental, and economic dimensions. By fostering cooperation among diverse actors, SIMONE seeks to enhance rural linkages and bolster agricultural sustainability across North-West Europe.
On-farm experiments are set up for weed management, crop nutrition, and crop resilience, with co-creation as the basis of each one. The farms take part in a living lab, and each region hosts one living lab where actors exchange knowledge.
For the duration of the project, international visits to the living labs inform farmers, advisors, and policy makers about the potential of on-farm experimentation and innovative solutions. Students are involved in the living labs, and the results are implemented in course material.
