MINAGRIS case studies

MINAGRIS has 11 case study sites across Europe in 6 biogeographical regions. At least 10 farms per site, many using plastic for food production, are participating. Farmers provide expertise and allow field access for sampling and experiments. Local, regional, and national stakeholders, including farmers, advisors, suppliers, scientists, and policymakers, are also involved in the project.
