In this work package, we explore possible futures for ‘smart’ arable mixed cropping systems. The goal is to think about what the future of arable agriculture could plausibly look like and how to get there. We do this in collaboration with relevant stakeholders. The visions we will develop are based on current trends and developments in arable agriculture. Following these visions, we will describe transition pathways: how do we get from the current situation towards the desired future visions? These transition pathways are not meant as predictions of the future, but rather as explorations of what the future could look like. By developing plausible transition pathways in collaboration with stakeholders, we provide stakeholders with perspectives for action and robust innovation agenda’s to achieve these desired future visions.
