Journal ArticleDOI
Food Security: The Challenge of Feeding 9 Billion People
H Charles J Godfray,John Beddington,I. R. Crute,Lawrence Haddad,David Lawrence,James F. Muir,Jules Pretty,Sherman Robinson,Sandy M Thomas,Camilla Toulmin +9 more
TL;DR: A multifaceted and linked global strategy is needed to ensure sustainable and equitable food security, different components of which are explored here.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying and mapping the human appropriation of net primary production in earth's terrestrial ecosystems
Helmut Haberl,K. Heinz Erb,Fridolin Krausmann,Veronika Gaube,Alberte Bondeau,Christoph Plutzar,Simone Gingrich,Wolfgang Lucht,Marina Fischer-Kowalski +8 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive assessment of global HANPP based on vegetation modeling, agricultural and forestry statistics, and geographical information systems data on land use, land cover, and soil degradation that localizes human impact on ecosystems suggests large-scale schemes to substitute biomass for fossil fuels should be viewed cautiously.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecosystem Services in Biologically Diversified versus Conventional Farming Systems: Benefits, Externalities, and Trade-Offs
Claire Kremen,Albie Miles +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the literature that compares biologically diversified farming systems with conventional farming systems, and examined 12 ecosystem services: biodiversity; soil quality; nutrient management; water-holding capacity; control of weeds, diseases, and pests; pollination services; carbon sequestration; energy efficiency and reduction of warming potential; resistance and resilience to climate change; and crop productivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paying for Ecosystem Services—Promise and Peril
Ann P. Kinzig,Charles Perrings,F. S. Chapin,Stephen Polasky,V. K. Smith,David Tilman,Billie Turner +6 more
TL;DR: The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment concluded that over the past 50 years, 60% of all ecosystem services had declined as a direct result of the growth of agriculture, forestry, fisheries, industries, and urban areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Socio-economic development and land-use change: Analysis of rural housing land transition in the Transect of the Yangtse River, China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors developed a theoretical framework for rural housing land transition in China, which is using the spatial differentiation in regional development for compensating the deficiencies in time-series data.
