In Marcelin (VD), FiBL and the "Service de l'Agriculture et de la Viticulture" of the Canton of Vaud (SAVI) have been testing a new cultivation system for fruit growing since 2013. The aim is to produce fruit and vegetables in ecological balance. Elements of agroforestry and permaculture are being integrated for this purpose. BioDiVerger is divided into two areas. 54 ares are managed according to agroforestry principles: rows of fruit trees alternate with nitrogen-fixing plants, with grass strips, hedges and vegetables. The other part of the complex comprises 6 ares and is managed according to the principles of permaculture. A large number of trees, shrubs and climbing plants, perennials or annuals are available for self-harvesting. BioDiVerger is managed by the organic farm "des Sapins" in Colombier-sur-Morges VD.
