Feeding the world's growing human population is increasingly
challenging, especially as more people adopt a western diet and
lifestyle. Doing so without causing damage to nature poses an even
greater challenge. This book argues that in order to create a
sustainable food supply whilst conserving nature, agriculture and
nature must be reconnected and approached together. The authors
demonstrate that while the links between nature and food production
have, to some extent, already been recognized, until now the focus
has been to protect one from the impacts of the other. Instead, it
is argued that nature and agriculture can, and should, work
together and ultimately benefit from one another. Chapters describe
efforts to protect nature through globally connected protected area
systems and illustrate how farming methods are being shaped to
protect nature within agricultural systems. The authors also point
to many ways in which nature benefits agriculture through the
ecosystem services it provides. Overall, the book shows that nature
conservation and food production must be considered as equally
important components of future solutions to meet the global demand
for food in a manner that is sustainable for both the human
population and the planet as a whole.
