Summary in the original language of the document

11 exchanges between grain and livestock farmers showed improvements in the sustainability (in its economic, social and environmental dimensions) of both farm systems. Moreover, in most cases (8 out of 11), these exchanges helped to enhance crop diversification within an arable system.


Summary translation

11 échanges entre céréaliers et éleveurs ont montré une amélioration de la durabilité des systèmes (tant sur la dimension sociale, environnementale ou économique). De plus, dans la plupart des cas, ces échanges ont favorisé les diversifications des cultures chez les céréaliers.

EPrint Type:Practice tool
Teaser:Learn how livestock farmers can profit from locally grown legumes, cereals and cover crops.
What problem does the tool address?:There is a general lack of engagement from grain farmers to crop diversification, namely due to limited markets and outlets for harvested products. On the flip side, within the dairy sector, there is reliance on imported soybean and it is currently hard to substitute this cheap source of protein with locally produced protein crops.
What solution does the tool offer?:One solution is to increase crop diversification in arable systems, while increasing locally produced protein in livestock systems, by facilitating and promoting win-win exchanges between grain and livestock farmers. Livestock farmers can use protein crops produced by local grain farmers, thus offering a local outlet for enhancing crop diversification in arable systems.
