The SIMONE participatory research project

The SIMONE project brings together farmers, advisors, and researchers across North-West Europe to test agroecological practices directly on working farms. Through its Living Labs, SIMONE supports farmers in co-designing trials on weed control, crop nutrition, and resilience, while using shared tools to monitor technical, environmental, and economic outcomes. Its emphasis on farmer participation, multi-performance evaluation, and real-farm testing makes SIMONE a strong example of how collaborative experimentation can drive more sustainable farming systems.
