Description of the measure
3-5 main crops at farm level during 1 year, avoid monoculture and decrease economic risks.
Comments on sustainability
It could suppose better incomes for the farmer, low economic risk with a higher diversification. Better risk diversification. May need advisory for new crops. Mixt systems are more resilient to plagues and extreme weather events as drought and high temperatures
