摘要

Agricultural landscapes have replaced natural ecosystems in 40% of the world’s land area and are associated with 70% of global freshwater withdrawals (Bonsch et al., 2015). Modern, intensive, large-scale agriculture is also perceived as a critical threat to our common future, due to the disruption of socio-ecological systems, biodiversity loss and degradation of ecosystem services (Vanbergen et al., 2020). The global increase in the area occupied by industrial/large-scale agriculture has been jeopardising the integrity of ecosystems and the way they function. Due to its huge dependence on fossil fuels, agrochemicals and machinery, modern agriculture is a significant contributor to climate change, soil erosion, environmental pollution and other problems (DeLonge et al., 2016).
