Diversifying European agricultural systems by intercropping grain legumes and cereals

Abstract Cropping system diversification is a key factor in developing more sustainable cropping and food systems. The agroecological practice of intercropping, meaning the simultaneous cultivation of two or more species in the same field, has recently gained renewed interest as a means of ecologica...
