Problem Cereals, quinoa and (new) pulses for local human consumption can diversify (organic) vegetable rotations. Between the idea to diversify rotations and the practice, lots of mistakes and setbacks often occur which could be avoided by planning beforehand.

It is also recommended to explore profitable local value chains beforehand.
