Agroecology: protecting, restoring, and promoting biodiversity

Jessica Knapp et al. BMC Ecol Evol. .

Abstract

The global food system is the predominant driver of biodiversity loss. Consequently, there is an increasing need to transition towards more sustainable and resilient agri-food systems to protect, restore and promote biodiversity. To help address this issue, BMC Ecology and Evolution has launched a new article Collection on agroecology.
