Sustainable agricultural intensification
URL: https://wesr-staging.azurewebsites.net/glossary/ajax/ajax.searchalloccurance.php?q=1172
A concept that challenges global agriculture (crops, livestock, forests, fisheries) to achieve a doubling in world food production while sustaining the environment in which we live. Food production efficiency needs to double in order to feed a growing global population using only currently available land while protecting our living environment and conserving natural and agricultural biodiversity. Sustainable agricultural intensification provides the means to do this with limited available resources. This ambition is highlighted in the Sustainable Development Goals. The resources to achieve this increase in food production will not increase, so the efficiency with which they are used will have to be enhanced to ensure ecosystems services are maintained. Sustainability also requires ensuring social equity in the productive and environmental benefits from sustainable agricultural intensification, otherwise the poorer sections of the farming population and women farmers risk being left behind or displaced by the promotion of intensification.
