Land-sparing vs. land-sharing: including people’s needs and global heterogeneity

Meeting the challenge of future food security while sustaining the functioning of ecosystems and the flow of benefits to societies from them is a daunting task. Recent debates have discussed the pros and cons of land-sparing, intensifying agriculture in some areas while conserving biodiversity in others, and land-sharing, fostering mixed landscapes where food production and biodiversity conservation co-exist.
Yet, the human dimension has been absent from most of those discussions. The impacts of land-sparing or land-sharing on the flow of services from ecosystems to societies and on human well-being need to be assessed. Also, the strong differences in biophysical and societal conditions across the globe need to be incorporated in this discussion.
This project aims at quantifying the tradeoffs between food production, biodiversity conservation, ecosystem services supply and human well-being. It will use global databases to assess the nature of these tradeoffs for contrasting regions of the world. It will use local data for sites with ongoing research on the topic to assess some of these tradeoffs in a few of the most contrasting regions of the world.
