DiverIMPACTS - Diversification through Rotation, Intercropping, Multiple Cropping

DiverIMPACTS project

The overall goal of DiverIMPACTS -  Diversification through Rotation, Intercropping, Multiple Cropping, Promoted with Actors and value-Chains towards Sustainability -  is to achieve the full potential of diversification of cropping systems for improved productivity, delivery of ecosystem services and resource-efficient and sustainable value chains by

• assessing performances of crop diversification through rotation, intercropping and multiple cropping,
• providing rural areas actors with those key enablers and innovations that would remove existing barriers and ensure actual uptake of benefits of crop diversification at farm, value chain and territory levels and
• making recommendations to policy-makers to facilitate the coordination of all relevant actors within the value chain.

 

So far, the project has published two policy briefs:

• Promoting crop diversification for more sustainable agri-food systems: DiverIMPACTS policy brief: https://zenodo.org/record/5824420#.YeUuRv7MLFg
• Recommendations for overcoming barriers to crop diversification towards sustainable agriculture: https://zenodo.org/record/5824417#.YeUuMf7MLFg

 

The project will develop more policy briefs and publication on crop diversification in the coming months.
