Abstract: | Widespread consensus has emerged around the importance of further
agricultural intensification, if the nutritional requirements of the everexpanding
global population are to be met (fao 2017). Mainstream models
of agricultural intensification, closely linked to specialization, have proved to
have a strong impact on the environment while also disconnecting agriculture
from rural communities (Woods 2011; Primdahl
and Swaffield 2010). Climate
change and increasing urbanization pressures add urgency to the challenge
of ensuring global food security without compromising the sustainability of
social-ecological systems. |
