LInking farmland Biodiversity to Ecosystem seRvices for effective ecofunctional intensificATION (LIBERATION)

Date du début: 1 févr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2017,

The next few decades will witness a rapidly increasing demand for agricultural products. This growing demand needs to be met largely through intensification (produce more from the same land surface) because there is little scope for an increase in agricultural area. Eco-functional intensification has been proposed as a promising solution. Eco-functional intensification is the optimization of all p ...
