Varying crop rotations and keeping the soil constantly covered with vegetation help protect crops against droughts and floods, in addition to increasing productivity. This technique was tested in Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil, by researchers from the Center for Carbon Research in Tropical Agriculture (CCARBON) at the University of São Paulo (USP).
Crop Diversification Techniques Enhance Resilience and Productivity in Agriculture
Researchers from the Center for Carbon Research in Tropical Agriculture at the University of São Paulo tested crop diversification techniques in Brazil, demonstrating that varying crop rotations and maintaining soil cover can protect against extreme weather and enhance productivity. This research is relevant for Iran as it faces similar agricultural challenges due to climate change.
