Sustainable Intensification

Bos et al. (2013)

(i) Current institutional settings and policies are still mainly directed at economic and environmental efficiencies on the production side, while policies aimed at reducing consumption are practically non-existent. Sound policies, however, start with the acknowledgement of trade-offs between population size, consumption levels and land spared for nature. Therefore, a legitimate, but seldom asked question is which part of the total effort needed to feed the human population should be on more production […] and which part on limiting population growth, changing human diets and global redistribution of wealth.

Cunningham et al. (2013)

(i) Defining better targets for more environmentally sustainable intensification of production must address the whole food production and distribution system. Although we focus primarily on the production sector, it is also critical to recognise that other efficiencies in the global food system could boost food availability […]. For example, significant amounts of food are lost in storage or distribution.

Garnett et al. (2013)

(i) The need to increase production. […] Urgent action is also needed on moderating demand for resource-intensive foods (such as meat and dairy products), reducing food waste, and developing systems of governance that improve the efficiency and resilience of the food system, as well as making food accessible and affordable to all. […]

(ii) Increased production must be met through higher yields because increasing the area of land in agriculture carries major environmental costs […].

(iii)Food security requires as much attention to increasing environmental sustainability as to raising productivity. […].

(iv)SI denotes a goal but does not specify a priori how it should be attained or which agricultural techniques to deploy.

Sayer & Cassman (2013)

(i) [I]ncreasing productivity is necessary but not sufficient to ensure food security, reduce poverty, improve nutrition, and maintain the natural resource base for sustainable development [ref.]. Innovations across a broader spectrum of policies and technologies are needed to confront the complex array of challenges at the agriculture–environment nexus [ref.]. Large numbers of poor farmers continue to practice extensive agriculture. Inevitably they will continue to encroach on hitherto uncultivated lands unless they can adopt innovative systems that allow for agricultural intensification and development of agricultural equipment industries, farm inputs, and food processing capacities.

Smith & Gregory (2013)

(i) Hence, some form of sustainable intensification of food production will be required [ref.]; but more fundamental changes in food production (and consumption) will also be needed if we are to meet future challenges.

(ii) Food security is a multi-faceted challenge, involving much more than just food production. Indeed, food production is only one of the challenges of providing food availability (which also relies on distribution and exchange), and food availability […is] only one aspect of food security which also includes food

access and food utilisation.

Production Focus

Bommarco et al. (2013)

(i) The benefits (ecosystem services) that humans derive from biodiversity have therefore become an important argument for conserving biodiversity. […I]t is important to distinguish between promoting biodiversity […] and biodiversity with inherent conservation value [ref.]. The differences between these ‘functional’ and ‘cultural’ services are at the very base of the recent land-sharing versus land-sparing debate. Consequently, arguments in favor of land sparing are largely based on how individual species can persist most efficiently, whereas arguments in favor of land sharing are largely based on the benefits humans can get from biodiversity [ref.]. Functional arguments for conserving biodiversity are […] important, but cannot replace ethical arguments.

Foley et al. (2010)

(i) First, the transformation of agriculture must deliver sufficient food and nutrition to the world. To meet the projected demands of population growth and increasing consumption, we must roughly double food supplies in the next few decades [ref.]. We must also improve distribution and access, which will require further changes in the food system.

(ii) Better deployment of existing crop varieties with improved management should be able to close many yield gaps [ref.], while continued improvements in crop genetics will probably increase potential yields into the future.

(iii)The search for agricultural solutions should remain technology-neutral. There are multiple paths to improving the production, food security and environmental performance of agriculture, and we should not be locked into a single approach a priori, whether it be conventional agriculture, genetic modification or organic farming.

Hill & Mustafa (2011)

(i) [I]t appears inevitable that increased use of GMOs is required to meet increasing food demand [ref.] and it has been argued that food shortages are caused by problems in food distribution and policies and not by production levels [ref.]. The reality is that additional food supplies are urgently needed as are appropriate solutions to provide global food security [ref.] and GMOs are an important component of the food security debate.

Koh et al. (2013)

(i) These challenges might be met by closing yield gaps […] or raising yield ceilings, reducing food lost to waste, and switching to less protein-rich or more aquaculture-based diets [ref.]. Additionally, we propose that a complementary approach is to maximise agricultural returns by planting crops that are best suited to site-specific conditions. While this strategy might seem obvious, the degree to which agricultural land use is optimised and the benefits of optimisation have not been evaluated at a global scale [...]. Therefore, for a farmer who is currently growing barley, maize, wheat and irrigated rice on his land, and if irrigated rice has the highest per-hectare realised yield given local conditions, then land-use optimisation would entail devoting the entire farmland to irrigated rice production.

McCouch (2013)

(i) By 1997, the world economy had accrued annual benefits of approximately $115 billion from the use of crop wild relatives

[ref.] as sources of environmental resilience and resistance to pests and diseases. The time is ripe for an effort to harness the full power of biodiversity to feed the world. Plant scientists must efficiently and systematically domesticate new crops and increase the productivity and sustainability of current crop-production systems.

Tilman et al. (2011)

(i) [A]gricultural intensification through technology adaptation and transfer and enhancement of soil fertility in poorer nations would greatly reduce these yield gaps [ref.], provide a more equitable global food supply, and greatly decrease the GHG emissions and species extinctions that otherwise would have resulted from land clearing [ref.].

Social-ecological Development

Barbieri et al. (2014)

(i) Migrations or diasporas, when they occur, can cause drastic shifts and disruptions in local knowledge and its transmission. This is what happened through the process of cultural invasions imposed by the ideology of urban industrial civilization, which was based on two false premises: superiority of technicians and researchers over rural culture (traditional knowledge) and the idea that science is the only form of valid knowledge, which transformed into ideology and a mechanism of domination of some cultures over others [ref.].

Pant (2014) (i) What is important to the development of critical systems of learning and innovation competence is the agency of individual and organizational actors to engage in deliberation on dialectical divides, and empowerment of vulnerable actors [ref.]. As implied by the unintended positive consequences of the reformist interventions, community empowerment should be done through critical systems of learning and innovation, encouraging people to radically question their social, ecological, and technical reality

Lewis, et al. (2011) (i) The Community Markets for Conservation (COMACO) model

operates primarily with communities surrounding national parks, strengthening conservation benefits produced by these protected areas. COMACO first identifies the least food-secure households and trains them in sustainable agricultural practices that minimize threats to natural resources while meeting household needs. In addition, COMACO identifies people responsible for severe natural resource depletion and trains them to generate alternative income sources.

(ii) COMACO provides education in farming practices that improve soil quality and mitigate losses to drought and flooding. However, such improvements have not yet translated into discernable differences in food security. Determining whether benefits have in fact been conferred without attaining food security is difficult in the absence of pre- and post-COMACO controls.

Barthel et al. (2013)

(i) However, if the task is to safeguard global food security1, it is not only the biological components of ecosystems that must be curated. Due to the varying historical and geographical conditions under which species have been (and are currently) cultivated, it is also important to safeguard knowledge of management practices that relate to these conditions. Using an interdisciplinary frame of analysis, we discuss areas where

7

Page 8: Supplementary Material10.1007... · Web viewThe benefits (ecosystem services) that humans derive from biodiversity have therefore become an important argument for conserving biodiversity

food continues to be produced in a context that links biological diversity and social memory, and which carries place specific insight.

(ii) Industrialization of agriculture has led to a remarkable increase in food production, which, along with advances in medicine, has enhanced life expectancy and health for growing populations in most nations (Rosling, 2007). Despite this, the number of undernourished children in many countries constantly increases, and history records people’s starving even when food supplies in their own nations were at overflow levels s and experiences of stewardship.

Jackson et al. (2013)

(i) In the scientific literature, there are surprisingly little observational and experimental data describing the social-ecological aspects of coupled human and natural systems across biomes. In this study, use of an expert judgment approach suggests that biodiversity use and conservation is closely aligned with aspects of human capital related to local knowledge and its exchange. Food security, however, was highest where agricultural intensification relied on agrochemical inputs, and was supported by strong financial and physical capital assets. These results suggest that resolving the current debate on biodiversity conservation vs. food security requires much greater attention to livelihoods, cultural integrity and other aspects of human well-being

Empowerment for Food Security

De Fries et al. (2012)

(i) Top-down solutions for reducing tropical deforestation [ref.] or for enhancing food security [ref.] do not assure success without bottom-up efforts to identify solutions appropriate to particular places. Research to identify effective modes of engagement between scientists and decision-makers working at different scales of governance (e.g., international, national, state, and community) and analyses (e.g., global, watershed, patch) is an important frontier [ref.].

Farmar-Bowers (2014)

(i) [T]he commercial food supply systems sit within a wider framework of human and ecological systems such that the food systems are part of larger social–ecological systems in which people interact with the world’s biophysical landscapes and processes [ref.]. Causes and solutions for problems in the food systems, such as poor health from poor diets, may exist outside the immediate food supply systems. Poor diet may have its origins in a wide range of factors that are influenced by many other systems. These may include poverty (employment system), lack of nutritional education (education system), and/or lack of access (transport or retail systems).

Sayer et al. (2013)

(i) The 10 principles of the landscape approach [continued learning and adaptive management, common concern entry point, multiple scales, multifunctionality, multiple stakeholders, negotiated and transparent change logic, clarification of rights and responsibilities, participatory and user–friendly monitoring, resilience, strengthened stakeholder capacity] are an innovation that should help address the challenge of increasing agricultural production while minimizing negative impacts on the environment.

Page 9: Supplementary Material10.1007... · Web viewThe benefits (ecosystem services) that humans derive from biodiversity have therefore become an important argument for conserving biodiversity

Basset, T.J. (2010)

(i) The coexistence of human poverty and landscape diversity does not add up to sustainably used environments. For this to be achieved, a high-quality agroecologic matrix must be complemented by a high quality socioeconomic matrix that promotes human development.

(ii) The food-price protests of 2008 revealed that hunger is linked to multiscale processes that make poor people vulnerable to exacerbating conditions like price shocks, disasters, and violent conflicts (ref.). Media typically emphasize these exacerbating conditions rather than the political economies that produce vulnerability in the first place.

Heywood, V.H. (2011)

(iii)It is estimated that about 60% of the world’s agriculture consists of traditional subsistence farming systems in which there is both a high diversity of crops and species grown and in the ways in which they are grown, such as polycropping and intercropping, that leads to the maintenance of greater or lesser amounts of variation within the crops

(iv)In addition, there is a need to create markets and income generating opportunities, ensure enhanced sectoral collaboration and enabling policies so as to provide the grounds to promote the use of these underutilized species. The main challenge is to raise awareness on their importance among the general public and policy makers to act in favour of their conservation.

Agroecology and Food Sovereignty

Chappell & LaValle (2011)

(i) If it is therefore possible for alternative agriculture to provide sufficient yields, maintain a higher level of biodiversity, and avoid pressure to expand the agricultural land base, it would indicate that the best solution to both food security and biodiversity problems would be widespread conversion to alternative practices. [… G]lobal food security is already hypothetically possible, and is plausible even for a larger future population. The implication is then that, on a caloric basis at least, the problem of food insecurity is a matter not of total availability but indeed one of access, political power, and equity. The fact that sufficient food supply is often available even in areas suffering from famines or persistent malnourishment belies the idea that today’s billions of food-insecure people are a result of insufficient food production, leading the FAO, among many others, to argue that poverty is the major cause of malnutrition [ref.]. The problem of food security is not one of global supply then, but of a need for equitable global distribution and local accessibility, which implies that further conventional agricultural intensification is unneeded in the short, and possibly long, term.

(ii) [I]t is conventional agriculture which is a luxury we can no longer afford. Based on this, we feel it is time to get beyond debates of alternative production versus conventional. […] In a world where obesity and hunger co-occur, it seems beside the point to argue about yield increases.

(iii)We alluded a number of times to the fact that sufficient production in no way guarantees actual food security by itself […]. From this standpoint, we think the best framework to use in a more complete analysis of food security is that of Rocha’s “Five A’s” [ref. …]. From these Five A’s spring many of the important challenges ahead. It seems to us that […] too many discussions of food security seem to begin and end with

9

Page 10: Supplementary Material10.1007... · Web viewThe benefits (ecosystem services) that humans derive from biodiversity have therefore become an important argument for conserving biodiversity

Availability, with perhaps some lip service to Accessibility and to ecological Appropriateness, but no mention of Acceptability or Agency.

Kremen et al. (2012)

(i) [A]lthough the agricultural sector currently produces more than enough calories to feed humanity, one billion people remain hungry and an additional one billion have micronutrient deficiencies [ref.]. This paradoxical situation occurs because many people still lack access to sufficiently diverse and healthy food, or the means to produce it, which is primarily a problem of distribution rather than production [ref.].

(ii) New social movements also increasingly promote agroecology as central to their agenda for transforming the industrialized agri-food system at local, national, and global scales [ref.]. In particular, a food sovereignty agenda has emerged from the aspirations and survival needs of smallholders and indigenous social movement leaders in the Global South [ref.]. Food sovereignty [ref.] refers to the right of local peoples to control their own agricultural and food systems, including markets, resources, food cultures, and production modes, in the face of an increasingly globalized economic system.

Tscharntke et al. (2012)

(i) [I]t is well established that small and diversified farms rather than large monocultures show greater productivity per area; a phenomenon referred to as the ’paradox of the scale’ or the ‘inverse farm size-productivity relationship’ [ref.].

(ii) [F]ood security is largely independent of the land sharing vs sparing debate. […] Olivier De Schutter (2011), highlights in his recent report that small-scale ecological farming is already very productive and can do even better [ref.]. He calls for increases of food production where the hungry live and the use of agroecological methods. These methods of improving yields are more accessible and viable for poor smallholder livelihoods than high agrochemical inputs.

Social-ecological Systems

Fischer et al . (2014)

(i) The explicit analysis of trade-offs can identify where the current allocation of land is inefficient in terms of the provision of multiple goods or services, such as biodiversity and agricultural production... However, a partial trade-off analysis, on its own, provides insufficient information to judge which of the many possible efficient allocations is socially preferable. In any given landscape, depending on societal goals, there is no a priori reason to assume that yields should increase, decrease, or remain constant.

(ii) Because the placement of agricultural activities impacts biodiversity, and because biodiversity varies spatially, teleconnections and displacement of land use via trade, can have distant but large impacts on biodiversity. Currently most of the debate on land sparing land versus land sharing focuses on single locations. The integration of trade and displacement dynamics into the land sparing versus sharing framework could make it more applicable to a connected world.

Hannah et al. (2013)

(i) Priorities linking ecosystems and food production are particularly important because human and natural responses to climate change are interwoven [ref.]. Impoverished farmers are likely to use diverse livelihood strategies that include

10

Page 11: Supplementary Material10.1007... · Web viewThe benefits (ecosystem services) that humans derive from biodiversity have therefore become an important argument for conserving biodiversity

diverse natural ecosystems and agro-ecosystems [ref], and that benefit from a range of ecosystem services [ref.]. Individual species’ range shifts can break up plant and animal communities, altering ecosystem services critical to agriculture, such as watershed protection.

(ii) Many of these solutions require planning on scales broader than individual farms or protected areas, which is why we have aggregated our results at spatial scales roughly coincident with scales of ecosystem and regional planning

Ju et al. (2013) (i) If properly harvested, WEPs could be the source of cash income for local people with low cash income because they are enjoyed by local people very much and often traded in markets. Furthermore, with the increased demand for green, healthy and safe food in modern society, wild food resources have attracted global interest because they are pollution-free and contain numerous important micronutrients and pharmacologically active substances.

Pautasso et al. (2013)

(i) More diverse (agro-)ecosystems tend to show higher socioecological resilience to disturbances and unforeseen events [ref.]. Multispecies cropping systems can enhance soil fertility, diminish losses due to pathogens and pests, and help farmers adapt to changing environmental, socio-cultural, and market conditions

(ii) Global change is composed of the interactions of various drivers (climate change, increased trade, land-use change, pollution, urbanization). All these factors will have an impact on agricultural diversity, through direct effects on crop genetic and specific diversity, but also via influences on cultural factors, plant health, social relations, poverty, food security, ecosystem management and seed exchange systems.
