| Issues need addressing |
Land-use | +How biophysical, ecological, economic and cultural factors affect the Jevons Paradox or the Forest transition trends? +Effect of non-intensive agriculture on habitat loss |
Economic | +Understand the macroeconomic aspects of intensification (such as effect of trade, export policies and certification) |
Agriculture production and food security | +Develop agroecological methods of increasing yield and analyze its efficiency +Better understand the role of the whole food chain (production, retailers and consumers) on either enhancing or hampering governance arrangements for securing food |
Ecology and ecosystem services | +Meta-analyses of the current knowledge of agriculture intensification on different species in tropical and temperate regions +Quantify ecosystems loss due to intensification in different spatial and temporal scales +Use other biological indicator other than species richness, such as composition, endemic rate and phylogenetic diversity |
