A Land Evaluation Framework for Agricultural Diversification

A Land Evaluation Framework for Agricultural Diversification

Shortlisting ecologically adaptable plant species can be a starting point for agricultural diversification projects. We propose a rapid assessment framework based on an ecological model that can accelerate the evaluation of options for sustainable crop diversification. To test the new model, expert-...
