Agroecology is a process-based agriculture that implements agrobiodiversification to stabilize ecosystem processes and crop yield, leading to sustainable food systems. Traditionally, agrobiodiversification focused on increasing within-farm plant richness, which may increase local species richness of higher trophic levels. However, it is increasingly recognized that stabilizing ecosystem processes involving plant-animal interactions –e.g., pollination- requires practices...

Agricultural simplification continues to expand at the expense of more diverse forms of agriculture. This simplification, for example, in the form of intensively managed monocultures, poses a risk to keeping the world within safe and just Earth system boundaries. Here, this study estimated how agricultural diversification simultaneously affects social and...
