Study in Science reveals diverse agriculture enhances crop yields, food security, and reduces negative environmental impacts.
Diverse agriculture offers significant benefits for both people and the environment, according to a new study published in Science. Researchers from over 15 nations analyzed data from 2,655 farms across five continents, finding that diverse farming strategies, such as crop rotation and soil conservation, can increase crop yields, improve food security, and reduce negative environmental impacts. The study highlights the potential for agricultural systems that serve both people and nature, as well as the importance of adopting multiple diversification strategies to maximize benefits.
