Increasing crop diversification requires diversity in teaching, training and learning
Description
Key messages addressed in this policy brief include:
- Crop diversification is a dynamic process that should be tailor-made to local contexts to help achieve sustainable agrifood systems.
- The complex and uncertain context of crop diversification requires actors to search and contextualize knowledge for action with adapted tools, resources and dedicated networks.
- Instead of ready-to-use and prescriptive solutions, tools and resources to design, assess and drive crop diversification strategies are needed.
- AKIS actors need to be outfitted with new skills and attitudes to act within and have impact on the sociotechnical context.
- Specific knowledge, know-how and soft skills are needed to accompany farmers, advisors and all actors in agricultural knowledge systems
- Current training and education programmes still need to take up concepts, approaches and tools related to crop diversification
- DiverIMPACTS provides tools and resources that can be directly mobilized by actors
