Where relevant and possible, describe environmental, economic and social impacts produced by the (re)-introduction of mixed systems into specialised farms/territories.
-
Analyse cases of re-introduction of mixed farming at farm and/or at landscape/territorial level: what made it possible? What stopped the process? Lessons learnt.
-
