Diversified farming systems: an agroecological, systems-based alternative to modern industrial agriculture

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define diversified farming systems (DFS) as farming practices and landscapes that intentionally include functional biodiversity at multiple spatial and/or temporal scales in order to maintain ecosystem services that provide critical inputs to agriculture, such as soil fertility, pest and disease control, water use efficiency and pollination.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation

Food security in Australia in an era of neoliberalism, productivism and climate change

TL;DR: The authors argue that productivist farming approaches that are favored by both industry and government are proving incapable of bringing about long-term production outcomes that will guarantee national food security, and argue that expansion in food production in an era of climate change will continue to compromise the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Historicizing food sovereignty

TL;DR: The authors traces the evolution of food sovereignty from the initial stages of the food sovereignty countermovement to the present, arguing that food sovereignty politics have not only traveled from countryside to city as consumers/citizens anticipate ecological constraints and compensate for unequal food distributions, but also they have been confronted with transitions in the food regime following the recent food crisis.
