| Underutilised crops are offering opportunities to diversify and improve farming and food systems as a response both to climate change and to social changes in food culture and uses. The choice of seed greatly determines farming practices and all stages of the food supply chain right up to the consumers’ plate. Based on DIVERSFOOD outcomes, this Booklet #6 proposes a number of thought-provoking concepts, methods and tools. It aims to inspire stakeholders who wish to develop diversity in food systems, presenting 10 novel ideas and approaches that support innovation embedding diversity in food systems from the field to the plate. |

| Current food systems and associated agricultural practices have led to a loss of crop diversity. The widespread adoption of genetically uniform crop varieties may also increase the vulnerability of production systems and reduce their adaptability to new environmental challenges. DIVERSIFOOD has explored different approaches aimed at increasing crop genetic diversity, and as a result, make biodiverse food available to consumers. These approaches have the potential to promote sustainable, locally adapted farming systems, provide autonomy to farmers, support local short and fair supply chains and reconnect farmers and consumers. In order to support these approaches, the following policy changes are needed: 1) The legal status of heterogeneous cultivars... |
