Dear Members,

We share below the abstracts of the latest contributions to the discussion on Harnessing the benefits of ecosystem services for effective ecological intensification in agriculture<http://www.fao.org/fsnforum/forum/discussions/liberation>.

Please note that we extended the deadline until 31 December, which will give a few more days for interested contributors to share their views or research on ecological intensification and enrich the work being carried out by the EU-funded LIBERATION project.

Expanding the evidence base for ecological intensification and demonstrating the concept is key to move forward in this direction and be better equipped to respond to the challenge of growing food demand.

Please refer to the background and questions proposed available on the discussion page<http://www.fao.org/fsnforum/forum/discussions/liberation>. As usual, comments are welcome in English<http://www.fao.org/fsnforum/forum/discussions/liberation>, French<http://www.fao.org/fsnforum/fr/forum/discussions/liberation> and Spanish<http://www.fao.org/fsnforum/es/forum/discussions/liberation>.

Your FSN Forum team

[cid:image003.png@01D13C0B.E9E5E6C0]Florence Egal, Food Security and Nutrition Expert, Italy



Florence argues that research and scientific evidence are essential but not enough to move in the direction of ecological intensification, as we need to deal with the gap between environment and food security. Only by involving institutions, policies and society as a whole, ecological intensification and, more broadly, sustainable food systems can become a win-win option. [...]

Katarina shares links on a project carried out at Mistra Council for Evidence-based Environmental Management (EviEM) which reviewed how different farming methods affect the amounts of organic carbon in arable soils and showed how the right choice of cultivation methods and cropping systems can transform soil from a source of greenhouse gases into a sink for carbon dioxide.
