Practice abstracts

Practice abstracts are short, accessible factsheets that provide practical information in a common format. DiverIMPACTS has produced many practice abstracts focusing on topics ranging from agricultural techniques and how to diversify cropping systems to dissemination and enhancing actor networks. You find practice abstracts according to our six topics or by looking at the full list below.
