Finca Los Escuderos: rainfed almond study site

<p>The Soil and Water Conservation Group of CEBAS-CSIC presents case study 1 of the Diverfarming project. In this case study we transformed a rainfed agrosystem with traditional almond tree monoculture into a diversified system, in order to increase ecosystem and economic benefits.</p> <p>Part of the work is carried out in the field following an experimental design, all the decisions are made in a participatory framework, involving different stakeholders. This is one out of 13 case studies on diversification established at different European climatic zones. In addition, the project incorporates 9 more case studies with a long history of sustainable practices to evaluate in the long term the ecosystem services provided. The work in the case study 1 is carried out in collaboration with the group of Enzymology, Bioremediation and Management of Organic Waste of the CEBAS-CSIC, ASAJA, DML and UPCT.&nbsp;</p> <p>Visit our website to follow the latest results of our research: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?v=-i48LeiBir0&amp;event=video_description&amp;q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.soilwaterconservation.es%2F&amp;redir_token=x69DT77W9QkmpK5AXTSRYZ-Lf5Z8MTU0MTY4NDQ5OEAxNTQxNTk4MDk4">http://www.soilwaterconservation.es/</a></p>
