Résumé
Modern western agriculture in arable farming,
is done in increasingly large monocultures.
Their advantage is the low labour input and
costprice of the produce. However these
monocultures are ecological deserts. Research
shows that spatial crop diversity within farm
fields can give higher yields, a lower disease
pressure and a higher biodiversity. Combination of diverse cropping systems with reduced tillage shows potentially further advantages for biodiversity. Examples of these diverse cropping
systems are strip cropping and agroforestry.
Ongoing research in the Netherlands on
strip cropping in arable and vegetable crops
shows comparable yields, a lower pest and
disease pressure and a higher biodiversity
compared to monocultures. Testing and
improving on a practical organic farms shows
that strip cropping is practically feasible with a
limited additional labour input.
