Intermediate Crops are planted and harvested on land that would otherwise be idle in a rotation pattern between main crops or in a fallow rotation to produce low-carbon feedstock for renewable biofuels and chemicals.

Intermediate Crops are referenced in the European Union's Renewable Energy Directive II (RED II).[1]

Examples of Intermediate Crops include Camelina sativa[2], Thiaspi arvense[3], and carinata.[4]
