There is an ongoing debate on what constitutes sustainable intensification of agriculture (SIA). In this paper, we propose that a paradigm for can be defined and translated into operational framework agricultural development. We argue must now defined—at all scales—in the context rapidly rising global environmental changes in Anthropocene, while focusing eradicating poverty hunger contributing to human wellbeing. The criteria approach propose, shift towards agriculture, integrates dual...
Abstract The stability and resilience of the Earth system human well-being are inseparably linked 1–3 , yet their interdependencies generally under-recognized; consequently, they often treated independently 4,5 . Here, we use modelling literature assessment to quantify safe just boundaries (ESBs) for climate, biosphere, water nutrient cycles, aerosols at global subglobal scales. We propose ESBs maintaining (safe ESBs) minimizing exposure significant harm humans from change (a necessary but...
Significance Decades of research have fostered the now-prevalent assumption that noncrop habitat facilitates better pest suppression by providing shelter and food resources to predators parasitoids crop pests. Based on our analysis largest pest-control database its kind, surrounding farm fields does affect multiple dimensions control, but actual responses pests enemies are highly variable across geographies cropping systems. Because often not enhance biological more information about local...
Tropical forest biodiversity is declining, but the resulting effects on key ecosystem services, such as carbon storage and sequestration, remain unknown. We assessed influence of loss tropical tree species by simulating 18 possible extinction scenarios within a well-studied 50-hectare plot in Panama, which contains 227 species. Among scenarios, aboveground stocks varied more than 600%, biological insurance 400%. These results indicate that future forests will be influenced strongly composition.
Multiple, coordinated goals and holistic actions are critical
Food systems that support healthy diets in sustainable, resilient, just, and equitable ways can engender progress eradicating poverty malnutrition; protecting human rights; restoring natural resources. system activities have contributed to great gains for humanity but also led significant challenges, including hunger, poor diet quality, inequity, threats nature. While it is recognized food are central multiple global commitments goals, the Sustainable Development Goals, current trajectories...
Agriculture is considered to be "climate-smart" when it contributes increasing food security, adaptation and mitigation in a sustainable way. This new concept now dominates current discussions agricultural development because of its capacity unite the agendas agriculture, climate change communities under one brand. In this opinion piece authored by scientists from variety international research communities, we argue that needs evaluated critically relationship between three dimensions poorly...
Significance Understanding and tracking nature’s contributions to people provides critical feedback that can improve our ability manage earth systems effectively, equitably, sustainably. Declines in biodiversity ecosystem functions over the past 50 y have decreased of nature contribute quality life. Changes technology adaptation social has partially offset negative impacts environmental change on life, but downward trends still occurred for many categories contributions.
Abstract Keeping the Earth system in a stable and resilient state, to safeguard Earth's life support systems while ensuring that benefits, risks, related responsibilities are equitably shared, constitutes grand challenge for human development Anthropocene. Here, we describe framework recently formed Commission will use define quantify target ranges “safe just corridor” meets these goals. Although “safe” “just” targets interrelated, see safe as primarily referring being associated with...
Blue foods play a central role in food and nutrition security for billions of people are cornerstone the livelihoods, economies, cultures many coastal riparian communities. extraordinarily diverse, often rich essential micronutrients fatty acids, can be produced ways that more environmentally sustainable than terrestrial animal-source foods. Capture fisheries constitute largest wild-food resource human extraction would challenging to replace. Yet, despite their unique value, blue have been...
Despite decades of increasing investment in conservation, we have not succeeded "bending the curve" biodiversity decline. Efforts to meet new targets and goals for next three risk repeating this outcome due factors: neglect drivers decline; unrealistic expectations time frames recovery; insufficient attention justice within between generations across countries. Our Earth system approach identifies six sets actions that when tackled simultaneously address these failings: (1) reduce reverse...
Blue foods, sourced in aquatic environments, are important for the economies, livelihoods, nutritional security and cultures of people many nations. They often nutrient rich
Abstract This Analysis presents a recently developed food system indicator framework and holistic monitoring architecture to track transformation towards global development, health sustainability goals. Five themes are considered: (1) diets, nutrition health; (2) environment, natural resources production; (3) livelihoods, poverty equity; (4) governance; (5) resilience. Each theme is divided into three five domains, indicators were selected reflect each domain through consultative process. In...
