Summary
Crop diversification and its associated practices support natural agroecosystem processes in local, diverse agricultural systems. The widespread appraisal of crop diversification is a fundamental alternative to simplified production systems for enhancing biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. Despite substantial evidence of crop diversification benefits for agroecology, the adoption of these practices lags behind. Despite strong scientific evidence of the benefits, the adoption of these practices remains significantly slower than necessary to address ecological and societal needs. Its adoption largely depends on farmers attitudes, intentions, perceived motivations, governance policies, incentives, and market acceptance. In contrast, successful agronomic interventions require redirecting
