A Socio-Ecological Perspective on Green Urbanisation and Urban Ecological Intensification
2021It is a matter of concern whether the human population is eroding the Earth’s life support system. Rapid urbanisation is fuelling separation between humans and nature, especially in cities. Cities can embrace sustainable development by adopting a natural ecological perspective and creating comfortable urban environments comprising green space in the ...

Sustainable Agriculture Through Ecological Intensification
2021The idea of sustainable agriculture emerges from facts, inspires value judgements and requires adaptation measures – it is an ethical challenge. Facts concern the modernisation of agriculture that has become unsustainable. Values stem from a change in understanding agriculture through a system paradigm that recognises relations and new potential.

Bacterial Endophytes for Ecological Intensification of Agriculture
2017Intensification in modern agriculture using endophytic bacteria employs to neglect hurdles of sustainable agriculture. Endophytes are contributing in current and future progresses of ecological intensification. Such microorganisms are the key driver to establish equilibrium between growing demand of food for ever-increasing population and agricultural ...

Prospects for ecological intensification of Australian agriculture
European Journal of Agronomy, 2013Abstract World population growth, changing diets and limited opportunities to expand agricultural lands will drive agricultural intensification in the decades ahead. Concerns about the reliance of past agricultural intensification on non-renewable resources, about its negative impacts on natural resources both on and off farm and on greenhouse gas ...

Ecological Intensification for Sustainable Agriculture in South Asia
2021In South Asian countries huge population pressure, foster urbanization and industrialization lead to dwindle the agro-ecological resources like land, water, agroforestry, human and climatic stability. Agricultural intensification has been accompanied by a set of innovations, collectively referred to as the Green Revolution, which has increased food ...

Prey-producing predators: the ecology of human intensification
Nonlinear dynamics, psychology, and life sciences, 2008Economic growth theory and theoretical ecology represent independent traditions of modeling aggregate consumer-resource systems. Both focus on different but equally important forces underlying the dynamics of human societies. Though the two traditions have unknowingly converged in some ways, they each have curious conventions from the perspective of ...

Ecological intensification index: reducing global footprint of agriculture
Trends in Plant ScienceBecause of the growing human population, increasing agricultural yields is becoming increasingly more important. However, various environmental crises have led society to demand a reduction in the environmental damage caused by agriculture. Until now, the economic and ecological aspects of plant cultivation have developed largely independently.

Implications of the Intensification of Agriculture for Ecological Problems
1980This paper is planned to integrate topics related to the effects of agricultural intensification on our environment, that have been discussed earlier in this Symposium, with a general survey of the subject. I interpret ‘ecology’ as being a study of the relationships of organisms with their environment and I shall concentrate on man’s position in the ...

Ecological Intensification of Agriculture to Preserve Profit
ASEAN Journal of PsychiatryFuture perspectives suggest that a real revolution in agricultural production processes will have to happen. If, on the one hand, the productivist model, originating from the green revolution, has shown its limits, especially with regard to the unsustainable use of natural resources and the negative impacts they cause on the environment, on the other ...

Ecological Intensification in Asian Rice Production Systems
2018More rice is needed to feed the increasing population in Asia and beyond. Although rice breeders and scientist have produced high yielding varieties, soils have been degraded by intensive agriculture. Hence alternative intensification strategies are needed for sustaining the rice production in Asia.
