Crop Diversification Cluster
The crop diversification cluster brings together partner organisations from countries across Europe to increase the impact of crop diversification research and encourage sustained uptake of diversification measures by European farmers and through innovations across the agri-value chain.
At the end of the DiverIMPACTS project, five H2020 projects were working together with DiverIMPACTS in the crop diversification cluster:
The cluster projects are working together to demonstrate the benefits of crop diversification to farmers and society, and to engage with stakeholders in the upstream and downstream value chains, by transferring knowledge in:
- Barriers to crop diversification and their solutions
- Innovative cropping methods, decision tools and new resources for crop diversification
- New end user focused approaches and field demonstrations across pedo-climatic regions of Europe to share innovations and crop diversification experiences
- Multi-criteria assessment of system performance at field, farm, value chain and landscape levels
- Policy recommendations to facilitate uptake of crop diversification
- Communicating joint activities in the cluster and disseminating joint output
