Crop diversification is the practice of growing more than one crop species within a farming area in the form of rotations (two or more crops on the same field in different years), multiple crops (more than one crop in the same season on the same field) or intercropping (at least two crops simultaneously on the same field).Various cropping strategies and management practices, such as diversification of cropping systems by crop rotation, conservation tillage, and the use of cover crops, have been promoted to enhance crop productivity and ecosystem services. However, the opportunities and means differ among regions and the actual effects of diversification on cropping system sustainability still need more investigation.This Special Issue covers the state-of-the-art and recent progress in different aspects related to agricultural diversification to increase the sustainability and resilience of a wide range of cropping systems (grassland, horticultural crops, fruit trees) and in a scenario of environmental challenges due to climate change: Crop production and quality; Impact of crop diversification on soil quality and biodiversity; Environmental impact and delivery of ecosystem services by crop diversification. 606 $aResearch 606 $aEnvironmental economics 610 $ablue prawn 610 $ablack tiger shrimp 610 $aeconomic efficiency 610 $afarming systems 610 $asalinity intrusion 610 $asoil salinity 610 $awhite-legged shrimp 610 $abig blue stem 610 $aCave in rock 610 $aclaypan 610 $aforbs 610 $alegumes 610 $aintercropping 610 $acropping systems 610 $aSub-Saharan Africa 610 $amillet and sorghum 610 $adiversification 610 $amonocultivar 610 $amixed-species plantation 610 $abiodiversity 610 $aarthropod 610 $asoil 610 $aon-farm biodiversity indicators 610 $alupin 610 $atriticale 610 $aweeds 610 $anitrogen 610 $aconvolutional neural network 610 $alight competition 610 $atransfer learning 610 $agrowth stages 610 $amixed cropping 610 $aaccumulate growing degree days 610 $aphyllochron 610 $agrass regrowth 610 $aleaf sheaths 610 $ablades 610 $aagricultural sustainability 610 $acrop rotation 610 $arice 610 $aeco-economic benefit 610 $aexternality 610 $aperennial cropping systems 610 $agrape production 610 $amedicinal and aromatic plants 610 $agrapevine yield 610 $amust quality 610 $aexperimental design 610 $aaboveground mass 610 $ablack medick 610 $aEgyptian clover 610 $agrain yield 610 $anutrients 610 $awhite clover 610 $afoodshed 610 $aarchipelago 610 $acity region 610 $afood modelling 610 $afood self-sufficiency 610 $aself-reliance 610 $afood security 610 $aagricultural diversification 610 $afood planning 610 $aregional food system 610 $acrop diversification 610 $asmall farms 610 $aHHI-Index 610 $aPoland 610 $abiochar 610 $asunflower husk 610 $asoil respiration 610 $asoybean 615 0$aResearch. 615 0$aEnvironmental economics. 702 $aFrancaviglia$b Rosa 702 $aFarina$b Roberta 702 $aA?lvaro-Fuentes$b Jorge 702 $aHorta$b Rau?l 702 $aDi Bene$b Claudia 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910566459903321 996 $aAgricultural Diversification$93037269 997 $aUNINA
