   Feb 1, 2017 · Cropping systems can be based on a single crop (monoculture) or on many (polyculture), including intercrops and rotations. Intercrops are rarely used in western agriculture although they offer several advantages (better use of resources, improved nutrient cycling)...

   Sep 1, 2020 · Besides the direct benefit for crop production by increasing the number of harvest and the amount of biomass extracted, multiple cropping can improve the functioning of agricultural systems and reduce the environmental consequences sometimes associated with crop production (Gaba et al., 2015).

   Dec 19, 2014 · In multiple cropping systems, plant diversity is designed and managed to improve crop production and reduce harmful environmental impacts based on the hypothesis that positive interactions between plants for resource acquisition and mobilization of natural regulation can replace agrochemical inputs (Malézieux et al. 2009).

   Mar 2, 2020 · We analyse the heterogeneity of farmers’ preferences and willingness to pay for different cropping system attributes using a mixed logit model, and we discuss the possible drivers and barriers to the adoption of these more sustainable options.

   Do cropping system attributes affect farmers' cropping decisions?

   • The results indicated that all the cropping system attributes identified with farmers during the focus groups meetings—income, labour requirements, cash requirements, maximum economic loss, and impact on soil fertility—affected the farmers’ cropping decisions, since the marginal utilities of these different attributes were all significant.

   Are cropping systems sustainable?

   • Cropping systems were initially designed to maximize yield from agro-systems, but modern agriculture has become increasingly concerned about the environmental sustainability of cropping systems (Fargione et al., 2018).

   What is intensive cropping?

   • Since the 1950s, intensive cropping systems based on the cultivation of a single crop or a single cultivar, in simplified rotations or monocultures, and relying on extensive use of agrochemical inputs have been preferred to more diverse, self-sustaining cropping systems, regardless of the environmental consequences.

   What is the difference between single-species cropping and multiple cropping systems?

   • Whereas single-species cropping systems are intended to increase the production of exported biomass in an optimized environment based on external resources, multiple cropping systems use plant interactions to increase crop production with lower inputs of water and nutrients.
