Radishes: the ultimate intercropping MVP! 🌶️ Fast-growing & shallow-rooted, they fit perfectly between slower crops. Harvest early, aerate soil, and suppress weeds – boosting overall garden health & yield! #gardening #intercropping #radishes

Intercropping means better harvests! 🥬 🌱
Planting kohlrabi and lettuce together maximizes space. Fast-growing lettuce provides quick ground cover, suppressing weeds, while slower kohlrabi matures. This diversity boosts soil health and reduces pest pressure. #Intercropping #Sustainable #Gardening

Climate action isn't just about planting trees far away.
It's about how we grow our food. 🌱
I’ve adopted #Agroecology—crop rotation, intercropping & agroforestry—to cut my carbon footprint.
And the results? Game-changing. 🧵👇

Milpa intercropping most commonly involves sowing the seeds of all three plants together in hills or mounds.
In Three Sisters traditions, the birth order is:
- Corn: oldest
- Bean: middle
- Squash: youngest

Boost your garden’s productivity with intercropping! 🌱 Plant fast-growers like radishes or lettuce between slow-growers like broccoli or onions. You’ll harvest early crops while the bigger veggies take their time, making the most of your space and increasing yields. #GardeningTips #Intercropping

Four years ago, this land was degraded—barely producing anything.
Today? It’s thriving with healthy crops!
We rejected chemicals and slash-and-burn. Instead, we embraced contour ploughing and intercropping.
The transformation is real. See it for yourself.

Looking at this thriving farm, you’d never guess it was completely degraded 3 years ago. Now, we have corn and beans coexisting in massive volumes.
We stopped fighting nature and started working with it through contour farming and intercropping. It’s time to restore our soil.

Intercropping with specific bean varieties (like Red Silk Beans) doesn't just maximize yield—it acts as a natural nitrogen factory. They pull nitrogen from the air and pump it back into the earth, naturally restoring degraded land without the chemical runoff.

Intercropping is one of the ways to sustainably use farm land. The microclimate formed helps to reduces soil water loss, reduce soil heat, and allows for the use of available space.

On a scale of 1-10, how smart is intercropping for feeding the future? We believe we MUST grow food and protect the environment at the same time. For our children. For tomorrow.
So... what’s your score? 1 to 10

New paper from our group! We found that maize plants from push-push fields had a higher relative abundance of metabolites toxic to insect herbivores. This suggests that maize plants growing with companion plants are "stronger" than maize plants growing alone.
