Diversified cropping systems for sustainable intensification of dryland family farming

Abstract

This video documentary highlights ICARDA’s research and delivery efforts for diversifying the existing mono-cropping cropping system in drylands. Diversifying the cropping system improves crop productivity, nutrition security, soil health, biodiversity, resilience to climate change and livelihoods for dryland family farming. ICARDA put its effort to fill the gap between research and impact, transforming cereal mono-cropping into sustainable and productive diversified cropping systems throughout the CWANA region and beyond.
