Popis: The DiverIMPACTS policy brief contains the following key messages The implementation of crop diversification requires multiple changes, not only within farming systems but also in terms of creation and development of new value chains. Targeting support to the many actors that compose and contribute to new value chains, and ensuring better coordination, are thus critical to the creation and development of crop diversification. Key policy recommendations include the allocation of public and private resources towards actors involved in crop diversification, with special attention paid to the starting and scaling-out phases; and specific support aiming at mitigating or sharing the investment costs and risks along value chains, e.g. through the development of innovative contracts and subsidies schemes. Creating a favorable environment including regulatory stability for new crops, as well as undertaking wide communication campaigns, are critical to reach an increased share for crop diversification products.
