Summary in the original language of the document

Benefits include: 1) Gives farmers the opportunity to diversify their rotation; 2) Reduces the impact of wheat price variability with a second, more profitable crop (per tonne); 3) Enables grain collectors to offer innovative contracts to farmers; 4) Offers a cropping system that requires fewer inputs and is more beneficial to the environment.


Summary translation

Les avantages comprennent: 1) Donne aux agriculteurs la possibilité de diversifier leur rotation; 2) Réduit l'impact de la variabilité du prix du blé avec une deuxième culture plus rentable (par tonne); 3) Permet aux collecteurs de grains de proposer des contrats innovants aux agriculteurs; 4) Offre un système de culture qui nécessite moins d'intrants et qui est plus bénéfique pour l'environnement.

EPrint Type:Practice tool
Teaser:Get practical recommendations for setting up an intercropping value chain.
What problem does the tool address?:Setting up an intercropping value chain for crops grown conventionally for years is often a big challenge. It is necessary to work on several economic, environmental and psychological fronts to achieve this.
What solution does the tool offer?:Setting up the intercropping value chain (in our case, pea-wheat) can be approached in the same way as setting up a classical value chain. This starts with setting up the crop on a small scale, which then slowly scaled up (such as on a private experimental farm, research centre or university). This allows you to understand the practicalities of growing the intercrop and see if it is feasible on a large scale.
