Hello, my name is Benedikt Haug, and I am a researcher at the #PlantBreeding group of #WageningenUniversity. I will post here regularly on my work in breeding for biodiverse and resilient cropping systems, such as mixed cropping, strip cropping, agroforestry and agrivoltaics.

My main interests are in the role of the #PlantGenotype and its #Holobiont in...

New study: #CropDiversification can help pollinators without taking land out of agricultural production, but only some #pollinator species may benefit. We highlight mechanisms on the spatial
and temporal #diversity of crops. Led by Thijs Fijen

South Australian grape growers are facing another year of prices below production costs due to the wine industry downturn. However, with the world drinking less wine, a global olive oil shortage presents a new opportunity. Diversifying crops is key, and some growers are now turning to olive farming.
