摘要：Society must increase food production and restore vita ecosystem services or suffer unacceptable consequences. Unfortunately, conventional agriculture might be the single greatest threat to ecosystem function. At the same time, reducing ecologically harmful agricultural inputs or restoring farmlands to native ecosystems threatens food production. We fell into this predicament because we designed agricultural and economic systems that failed to account for ecosystem services, and the path forward requires redesigning both systems. Agroecology—which applies ecological principles to design sustainable farming methods that can increase food production, wean us away from non-renewable and harmful agricultural inputs, and restore ecosystem services— promises to be an appropriate redesign of agricultural systems. In Santa Rosa de Lima (Santa Catarina, Brazil), we are working with small family farmers, local and state government, and non-government organisations to develop multifunction riparian forests (MultRF) and High biodiversity silvopastoral systems (SPSnuclei) that achieve these goals, as well as the policies required for the adoption and dissemination.
