As the world grapples with the challenges of climate change and food insecurity, the need for sustainable food production has taken on a new urgency.
But many current agricultural practices are at odds with the ecosystems they rely on, jeopardizing the long-term sustainability of our food systems and the biodiversity that underpins and surrounds them.
The headlong pursuit of agricultural productivity has made it possible to feed a massive global population. However, research suggests the efficiency of food production comes at the cost of robustness. Nature’s biodiversity has floundered under these highly productive, uniform landscapes.
