The role of nature's contributions to people in sustaining international trade of agricultural products

People and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 410-421, April 2024.
Abstract Nature's contributions to people (NCP) are essential for the production and trade of agricultural, forestry and fishery commodities. Often, there is a spatial disconnect between consumers and the natural systems where the commodities are produced. Traded agricultural products are therefore dependent on nature and NCP in their region of origin.
