Catch up with DiverIMPACTS

20, 2022

The ninth newsletter from the DiverIMPACTS Horizon 2020 project is now available. The project is seeking to “achieve the full diversification potential of cropping systems for improved productivity, delivery of ecosystem services and resource-efficient and sustainable value chains”, with the latest newsletter providing an update on progress.

In addition, the newsletter features stories on:

  • How to learn to trust unfamiliar knowledge and collaborations?
  • Projections show increased resilience with an integrated crop-livestock system in a French case study
  • Transitioning toward more crop diversity: different pathways and their drivers

Furthermore, the newsletter includes news about the project’s latest video. This focuses on explaining how growing grain legumes in cropping systems can provide agronomic and environmental benefits. In the video, Swedish experts demonstrate the importance of boosting local legume production.

Several new DiverIMPACTS practice abstracts are now available, says the newsletter, providing “useful tips and information for practitioners, advisors and many other actors involved in agriculture”. The newsletter identifies the availability of the following:

  • Tools for defining a fair price and strengthening crop diversification value chains
  • Avoiding hoeing in organic oilseed rape
  • The visual puzzle: a communication tool to understand the usefulness, contributions and needs of actors in a multi-actor platform
  • From crop diversity to ecosystem services: using indicators to evaluate crop diversification benefits
  • Intercropping legumes with rapeseed to reduce nitrogen inputs and pesticide use and improve profitability in a 9-year diversified cropping system in Berry, France
  • Intercropping legumes with rapeseed to reduce nitrogen and pesticide use in a 10-year diversified cropping system in Champagne, France
  • Diversified rotations in protected vegetable production systems including cover crops
  • Diversified rotations in protected vegetable production systems
  • Multi-species summer cover crop in protected vegetable systems
  • Increasing feed production using legume and cereal mixtures as a second crop
  • Increasing crop diversification with flower strips to improve natural pest control and pollination
  • Reintroducing hemp cultivation in Mediterranean areas
  • 2-years rotation, an alternative to maize monocropping in Bearn (France)
  • Introducing oats as an energy catch crop in maize monocropping in Bearn (France)
