Résumé : | Future cropping systems need to produce enough quantities of food in correct proportions to meet the dietary and nutritional preferences of a huge and dynamic population while preserving the environment. Spatial and temporal arrangement of crops on the same piece of land within a single cropping season is one of the major pathways to achieve this goal. The preceding chapters have highlighted the forms and nature of sustainable food systems that are currently in use across the world and the ecosystem services benefits that can arise. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a synthesis and highlight some of the challenges that need to be overcome for maximum benefits to occur. It also suggests the cropping systems interventions that can be used to increase ecosystems services even when opportunities for land expansion are limited. It concludes by recommending cereal-legume systems as the most appropriate cropping systems that can be promoted as well as highlighting the policy implications, including the support needed from the private sector and government agencies. Widespread integration of legumes in the current cropping systems will be driven by the market and not by household consumption alone. Case studies are highlighted, knowledge gaps as well as future research needs are identified and discussed. |
