Intensification and specialisation of agriculture in developed countries enabled productivity to be improved but had detrimental impacts on the environment threatened economic viability a huge number farms. The combination livestock crops, which was very common past, is assumed viable alternative specialised or cropping systems. Mixed crop-livestock systems can improve nutrient cycling while reducing chemical inputs generate economies scope at farm level. Most assumptions underlying these...

Mixed crop–livestock systems, combining livestock and cash crops at farm level, are considered to be suitable for sustainable intensification of agriculture. Ensuring the survival mixed systems is a challenge European agriculture: number farms has been decreasing since 1970. Analysis farming system dynamics may elucidate past changes forces driving this decline. The objectives study were (i) identify diversity paths that allowed (ii) behind such survival. We analysed variety trajectories...
Complex landscapes including semi-natural habitats are expected to favour natural enemies thereby enhancing pest biocontrol in crops. However, when considering a large number of situations, the response landscape properties is globally inconsistent, possible explanation being that local agricultural practices counteract effects. In this study, along crossed gradient pesticide use intensity and simplification, we analysed interactive effects characteristics on biocontrol. During 3 years,...
Abstract Conversion of semi-natural habitats, such as field margins, fallows, hedgerows, grassland, woodlots and forests, to agricultural land could increase production help meet rising global food demand. Yet, the extent which habitat loss would impact biodiversity wild species is unknown. Here we survey richness for four taxa (vascular plants, earthworms, spiders, bees) yield across a range arable, mixed, horticulture, permanent crop, organic non-organic on 169 farms 10 European regions....
Farming intensity and landscape heterogeneity influence agrobiodiversity associated ecological functions. The relative contributions of these agroecosystem components to agricultural production remain unclear because inter-relations weather-dependant variations. Using a structural equation modelling approach, we estimated direct indirect farming (soil management, pesticide use fertilisation) (of semi-natural covers crop mosaic) cereal production, in 54 fields (mostly wheat), two years (24 30...
Abstract Farmland is a major land cover type in Europe and Africa provides habitat for numerous species. The severe decline farmland biodiversity of the last decades has been attributed to changes farming practices, organic low‐input are assumed mitigate detrimental effects agricultural intensification on biodiversity. Since farm enterprise primary unit decision making, management‐related at field scale need be assessed level. Therefore, this study, data were collected characteristics,...
The huge changes in agricultural activities, which may be amplified by the forthcoming Common Agriculture Policy reform, call future of crop-livestock systems into question and hence impact these on landscapes biodiversity. We analyzed relationships between agriculture, landscape biodiversity south-western France. study area covered about 4000 ha included four villages. conducted a survey 56 farms. Multivariate analysis (multiple factor cluster analysis) were used to analyze 25 variables...
Summary To evaluate progress on political biodiversity objectives, monitoring provides information whether intended results are being achieved. Despite scientific proof that and evaluation increase the (cost) efficiency of policy measures, cost estimates for schemes seldom available, hampering their inclusion in programme budgets. Empirical data collected from 12 case studies across Europe were used a power analysis to estimate number farms would need be sampled per major farm type detect...
The Coteaux de Gascogne region, an upland area in south-western France, is a site where studies related to the future of landscapes and sustainability natural resource management are well documented. local agricultural system induced by "house centred" society with particularity passing on inheritance farm estate identically from one generation next. This generates mosaic landscape made up field crops, grasslands woodlots. Local agriculture has experienced deep changes since 1950s relation...
Abstract In agriculture and environmental sustainability research, assessment of local diversity individual farm dynamics farmers' behaviors appears special interest for enlightening changes in ecological, social, economical functions related to farming rural communities landscapes. It also includes challenges due current methodology limitations. this study, we developed a method assessing the variety change trajectories since 1950 farms case study area Pyrenees (France). Changes households...
La production porcine française en AB est très diversifiée de par ses élevages, notamment termes taille avec nombreux ateliers à faibles effectifs ; la commercialisation des produits, une filière longue bien implantée dans le grand ouest France, et filières courtes plus territorialisées multiplicité acteurs spécifiques l’AB ou mixtes. Bien que nombre truies certifiées ait doublé entre 2016 2021, il ne représente 1,9 % du cheptel français. Face ce constat, étude a été réalisée consortium...
For over a decade, the globalisation of environmental, economic and social issues has induced rapid modification in agriculture land. These changes raise question future extensive livestock systems regards to worldwide challenge double production by 2050 ways which are safe for environment. In order better understand follow processes, comparative study land dynamics been carried out on seven case studies three continents through use common grid.
