European crop diversification experiences pushed by farmers exploring more sustainable agronomic practices

Author: Frédéric Vanwindekens

Problem: Crop diversification experiences (CDE) of actors enhancing the sustainability of farming systems are being developed across Europe. In order to support the development of diversification, there is a need to learn from existing CDE and to better understand their drivers, the barriers they face, and the solutions developed to overcome these.

Solution: Modelling farming system players’ worldviews across a diversity of 11 European CDE mobilising agronomic innovations to highlight drivers and barriers that they face across three main dimensions: agronomy, socio-economy and ecology.
