Eco-agriculture, a new landscape paradigm (journal)
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment confirmed that agriculture has
dramatically increased its ecological footprint. Fortunately, agricultural landscapes
can be managed to host wild biodiversity,
with neutral or even positive effects on agricultural production. Innovative practitioners, scientists and indigenous land
managers are designing
‘ecoagriculture’ landscapes to generate positive co-benefits for
production, biodiversity and local people. We assess the potentials and
limitations for successful conservation of biodiversity in productive
agricultural landscapes, the feasibility of making such approaches
financially viable, and the organizational, governance and policy
frameworks needed to enable ecoagriculture
at a globally significant scale.
