Excessive anthropogenic nitrogen (N) inputs to the biosphere have disrupted the global nitrogen cycle.

Food systems are major contributors to climate change and other environmental problems, such as land-use change and biodiversity loss, depletion of freshwater resources, and pollution of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems through nitrogen and phos

Globally, the commons provide important ecosystem functions and services and contribute towards sustainable development and human population.

This note summarizes the results of in-person interviews with 16 US farmers in Iowa and Illinois to identi-fy the motivations and challenges that impact farmers’ adoption of practices that improve biodiversity.

This note summarizes the results of interviews with 16 farmers in Brazil to identify the motivations and challenges that impact farmers’ adoption of practices that improve biodiversity.

This note summarizes the results of interviews with 17 farmers in France to identify the motivations and challenges that impact farmers’ adoption of practices that improve biodiversity.

This note summarizes the results of interviews with 18 farmers in Germany to identify the motivations and challenges that impact farmers’ adoption of practices that improve biodiversity. All interviews were conducted either by phone or on Zoom.

Excess agricultural nitrogen, mainly from manure and chemical fertilizers, is a primary source of nutrient pollution and presents serious environmental threats to natural ecosystems and human health.

Ensuring resilient food systems and sustainable healthy diets for all requires much higher water use, however, water resources are finite, geographically dispersed, volatile under climate change, and required for other vital functions including ec

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has spotlighted the intricate connections between human and planetary health.

FAO’s The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World report (FAO et al. 2020) emphasizes the gradually increasing trend of hunger, measured by the prevalence of undernourishment, since 2014.

The program NEXUS Gains addresses key challenges of transforming water, energy, food and ecosystem (WEFE) systems in transboundary bread-basket basins in East and Southern Africa (Blue Nile and Limpopo basins), Central (Aral Sea basin) and South A

The United Nations Food Systems Summit aimed to chart a path toward transforming food systems toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

The brief focuses on the achievements of the following three global biodiversity targets from the CBD post-2020 framework (CBD/WG2020/3/3), by 2030 and 2050:

This paper explores outcome indicators and process principles to evaluate landscape resilience in agro-ecosystems, drawing on outcome indicator case studies of the CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems (WLE).

During the past two decades, a series of global policy changes affecting genetic resource conservation, use, and exchange have entered into force: the 2004 International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA), and mor

The global research consortium CGIAR is restructuring itself to build a more integrated global organization (“One CGIAR”) that fully leverages its strengths and refocuses its research strategy through 2030 in service of a renewed mission: End hung

In this second report of the FABLE Consortium, country teams present 20 national pathways towards sustainable land-use and food systems (Figure A).

Increasing demands for agricultural commodities are resulting in more intensely managed landscapes. This is at odds with biodiversity conservation and largely ignores farmland biodiversity’s supporting function for high and stable yields.
