Various environmental, food security and population health problems seem to be related intensive agriculture production worldwide. This type of system impacted the loss biodiversity natural habitats; high usage rates agrochemicals resources had affected soil composition, human health, nutritional plant quality in rural areas. Intercropping agroecological systems that respect agrobiodiversity could significantly benefit ecosystems, by modifying profile content some health-promoting bioactive compounds species cultivated this system. Research on intercropping strategies focuses benefits they can offer ecosystems less nutrient leaving information scattered when theme should more studied due critical impact it provide for nutrition. Therefore, review aims collect viable details investigation status nutrients verifying different regions world with unique mixed crops using species, along criteria combining them, as well analyzed show what contribute availability quality.
