This final episode in the web series, which has been released this week, aims to highlight the project’s key findings. These have been generated over four years of research trials and are combined with feedback from farmers and other stakeholders on the potential challenges, benefits and learnings on mixture cropping throughout the project. Most importantly, the final episode summarises the project’s overall recommendations about the opportunities for using mixed cropping in farming and downstream value chains.
Dr Alison Karley, co-ordinator of the DIVERSify project, explains: “The final episode in the DIVERSify web-series summarises recommendations about the use of mixed cropping, based on our research trials across Europe and North Africa. It also highlights how decision-makers could provide financial and policy support for mixed cropping and recommends ways to ensure that intercropping knowledge is shared across agricultural communities.”
The key recommendations from the project so far are built around:
- Reducing Inputs
- Supporting Agrobiodiversity
- Knowledge Sharing
- Diversifying the Cropping Sequence
- Leveraging Opportunities
