CONT

Les systèmes de culture non vivrière pourraient enrichir la diversité agrobiologique. La promotion de systèmes locaux intégrés de production aliments-énergie, par exemple en associant la production de matières premières à la production agricole peut éviter les gaspillages et accroître l'ensemble de la productivité de systèmes à vocation alimentaire et énergétique.

CONT

Trois cultures alimentaires sont possibles : le blé, l'orge d'hiver et le colza. Deux cultures non alimentaires sont envisagés, le colza énergétique et une culture ligno-cellulosique.
