Agricultural biodiversity, or agrobiodiversity, is essential for food security and livelihoods. It includes the variety of plants, animals, and microorganisms used for food production, covering crops, livestock, forestry, and fisheries. This biodiversity has developed over thousands of years through natural and human influences. However, modern farming methods have reduced agrobiodiversity,...

The article examines the adoption of agroecological practices among vegetable farmers in Botswana and their impact on farm performance. Although these sustainable practices have potential, their use among farmers is limited, and little is known about their effects on farms. The study used the multivariate probit model to analyze the...

The global agroecosystem has long supported human society by providing nutrient-rich food. However, modern farming practices, such as chemical intensification and simplification, have weakened biodiversity on farmland, making it more vulnerable to pests.
The article argues that biological control, which involves using plant, animal, and microbial biodiversity, can effectively reduce pest...

The article discusses the need for significant changes in cropping systems (CS) to facilitate an agroecological transition. Achieving this requires innovative design tailored to local conditions, which is challenging due to the need for extensive, often under-researched knowledge distributed among various stakeholders. Research since the 2000s has focused on participatory...
