Agroecology as a vehicle for contributive justice

TL;DR: In this article, the concept of contributive justice is introduced to support the added labor-intensity of agroecological farming, and a fair distribution of meaningful work and tedious tasks is proposed.
Book ChapterDOI

Ecological Intensification: Local Innovation to Address Global Challenges

TL;DR: The debate on future global food security is centered on increasing yields as mentioned in this paper, which overlooks the diversity of current positions and contexts in which local agriculture functions, and the actual model of production is based on mainstream agricultural models in industrialized societies, in which ecological diversity and benefits from nature have been ignored or replaced by external inputs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Challenges and Action Points to Amplify Agroecology in Europe

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present and discuss recommendations for pathways and actions to develop sustainable agro-food systems in Europe through agroecology, which can provide insights into important pathways and guide the design, development, and promotion of the transition towards sustainable farming and food systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhancing agroecosystem productivity with woody perennials in semi-arid West Africa: a meta-analysis

TL;DR: Upscaling the use of biodiversity-driven processes in farming systems of West Africa may provide benefits to overall ecosystems, but species’ choice and trade-offs perceived at the farm level, including labour management and low ramial wood availability, should be addressed through future research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use and management of biodiversity by smallholder farmers in semi-arid West Africa

TL;DR: In this article, the role of biodiversity in sustaining diverse forms of multifunctional farming practices while at the same time providing ecological services to subsistence-oriented farming families in the region of study through mechanisms such as crop species diversification, management of spatial heterogeneity, and diversification of nutrition-sensitive landscapes.
