Resilience through diversity: The potential of modelling species and variety interactions to enhance resilience of production systems

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Agricultural production systems in the global North combine monocultures of specialised varieties and breeds with external interventions and inputs. Increasing the diversity of varieties, breeds and species may increase the system's resilience to external pressures through beneficial interactions.
