This review suggests that diversified systems and associated ecosystem services, such as pollination, can help to achieve such goals.
A synthesis of 39 studies on 23 crops around the world published earlier this week in the journal Ecology Letters confirms that wild bees are more abundant in diversified systems such as organic farms.
Crucially, where diversified systems raise productivity and improve livelihoods, they do so durably, performing particularly well under environmental stress and delivering production increases in the places where additional food is desperately needed.
Several of our studies concentrate on elucidating the effects of intercropping, covercropping, weed management, and crop-field border vegetation manipulation on pest population density and damage and on the mechanisms enhancing biological control in diversified systems.
Our prognosis is that, despite the global trend towards land use intensification, in many areas swidden will remain part of rural landscapes as the safety component of diversified systems, particularly in response to risks and uncertainties associated with more intensive land use systems.
We performed a meta-analysis on experiments comparing crop yield, nitrate leaching, or soil nitrate between conventional (receiving inorganic fertilizer with a winter bare fallow) and diversified systems managed using either a non-legume over-wintering cover crop (amended with inorganic fertilizer) or a legume over-wintering cover crop (no additional N fertilizer).
