  • The legend of land sparing

    Open AccessAmbra Calo, Olivia Oldham et al.ARTICLEAgriculture and Human Values2026

    As institutions mobilize ambitious land-use transition agendas, dominant policy narratives risk constraining their transformative potential. The land sparing–land sharing (SpSh) framework, introduced in the early 2000s, offered a compelling heuristic by positing two mutually exclusive strategies: intensifying production to “spare” land for nature, or integrating biodiversity within agricultural landscapes. While SpSh stimulated valuable empirical…

  • Rural Root Shock

    Open AccessRobert G Wallace, Elsa Calderon et al.ARTICLEAntipode2026References: 105

    This article expands social psychiatrist Mindy Fullilove's characterisation of US postwar urban community root shock in time and space. We explore the impacts of land dispossession and population displacement on Black farming communities and their health from colonial origins on. We review racial capitalism driving such rural root shock as a socioecological nexus, with particular focus here on its effects in little‐studied Black communities of th…

  • A polycentric food sovereignty approach to climate resilience in the Philippines

    Open AccessAmber Heckelman, M Jahi Johnson‐chappell et al.ARTICLEElementa Science of the…2022

    Enhancing climate resilience in agrarian communities requires improving the underlying socioecological conditions for farmers to engage in adaptation and mitigation strategies, alongside collaborative and redistributive community development to reduce vulnerabilities. To overcome barriers to climate resilience in the Philippines, a grassroots farmer-led organization comprised of resource-poor smallholders, scientists, and nongovernmental organiza…

  • Scholar-activist perspectives on radical food geography

    Open AccessCharles Z Levkoe, Colleen Hammelman et al.ARTICLEHuman Geography2020Cited by: 5References: 14

    Radical geography research, teaching, and action have increasingly focused on food systems, examining the scalar, sociopolitical, and ecological dynamics of food production and harvesting, processing, distribution, consumption, and waste. While academics have contributed significantly to these debates, the success and progress of this scholarship cannot be separated from the work of practitioners and activists involved in food justice and food so…

  • From Transition to Domains of Transformation

    Open AccessColin Ray Anderson, Colin Anderson et al.ARTICLESustainability2019

    The acceleration of ecological crises has driven a growing body of thinking on sustainability transitions. Agroecology is being promoted as an approach that can address multiple crises in the food system while addressing climate change and contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals. Beyond the more technical definition as, “the ecology of food systems”, agroecology has a fundamentally political dimension. It is based on an aspiration towar…

  • Land Sparing Versus Land Sharing

    Open AccessJoern Fischer, David J Abson et al.ARTICLEConservation Letters2014

    To address the challenges of biodiversity conservation and commodity production, a framework has been proposed that distinguishes between the integration (“land sharing”) and separation (“land sparing”) of conservation and production. Controversy has arisen around this framework partly because many scholars have focused specifically on food production rather than more encompassing notions such as land scarcity or food security. Controversy furthe…

  • Putting meaning back into “sustainable intensification”

    Open AccessJacqueline Loos, David J Abson et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Ecology and the…2014

    In light of human population growth, global food insecurity is an escalating concern. To meet increasing demand for food, leading scientists have called for “sustainable intensification”, defined as the process of enhancing agricultural yields with minimal environmental impact and without expanding the existing agricultural land base. We argue that this definition is inadequate to merit the term “sustainable”, because it lacks engagement with est…

  • Organic agriculture and the global food supply

    Open AccessCatherine Badgley, Jeremy Moghtader et al.ARTICLERenewable Agriculture and Food…2007

    The principal objections to the proposition that organic agriculture can contribute significantly to the global food supply are low yields and insufficient quantities of organically acceptable fertilizers. We evaluated the universality of both claims. For the first claim, we compared yields of organic versus conventional or low-intensive food production for a global dataset of 293 examples and estimated the average yield ratio (organic:non-organi…
