Visit to pilot farms in the village of Rudno

As part of the "Agromix" project, which is implemented by the Network for Rural Development of Serbia in cooperation with the partner consortium coordinated by Coventry University, a field visit to the pilot farms in the village of Rudno was carried out.

Within the second work package of the Agromix project in Serbia, an association of producers in the Biosphere Reserve "Golija-Studenica" and two pilot farms have been identified as a pilot initiative, which will serve for the analysis of current practices in the application of the principles of agroforestry and mixed agriculture, as well as for defining measures and recommendation for their promotion.

The selected pilot farms each have 10ha of their own land and about 2ha of leased land. Both farms have mixed agricultural production: livestock, cereals, potatoes, meadows, forest. One farm also has accommodation facilities for rural tourism (4 rooms with 2 beds each).

The visit to the pilot farms is just one in a series to come.
