The blurred boundaries of ecological, sustainable, and agroecological intensification: a review
It is neither clear nor agreed upon what is meant by agricultural
intensification. This article compares the three major uses, ‘ecological
intensification’, ‘sustainable intensification’ and ‘agroecological
intensification’, by analysing their various definitions, principles and
practices. Confusion is still predominant in the use of these terms, contributing to their use for justifying
many different kinds of practices and interventions. Greater precision in defining the terms and the respective practices
proposed would indicate more clearly what authors are
aiming at with the proposed intensification.
