The COVERCROPS project addresses the loss of biodiversity and soil degradation in fruit farms. It offers farmers the opportunity to reduce their dependence on inputs such as phytosanitary products and fertilizers, while diversifying their products by growing aromatic plants. The solution proposed by the project is based on the design and implementation of herbaceous and aromatic covers. These covers are designed to improve soil quality, attract auxiliary fauna that helps in pest control and generate alternative production by using aromatic plants.
