Ecological Intensification: Bridging the Gap between Science and Practice [PDF]
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2019 There is worldwide concern about the environmental costs of conventional intensification of agriculture. Growing evidence suggests that ecological intensification of mainstream farming can safeguard food production, with accompanying environmental benefits; however, the approach is rarely adopted by farmers.

Ecological consequences of intensification of agricultural production.
Balanced nature using, 2020 The problem of intensification of agricultural production in the conditions of rapidly growing population is highlighted. In agriculture, their severity is even more pronounced, because this sector of the economy has always been characterized by its problems and actively attracted public attention.

Ecological Intensification for Crop Protection
, 2014 We need to break away from intensive agriculture based on non-renewable and toxic inputs . Safer practices are indeed emerging. Sustainable agriculture started about 50 years ago with the design of integrated pest management (IPM) to counteract pesticide misuse and abuse. Ecological intensification emerged only a few years ago.
