DISCUSSION No. 123 • FSN Forum digest No. 1211 | | Harnessing the benefits of ecosystem services for effective ecological intensification in agriculture | Deadline extended until 31 December 2015 | |
|
| | | 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. 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. As usual, comments are welcome in English, French and Spanish. Your FSN Forum team | |
