New paper on food production in woodland-based systems

Superbly led by Steffen Hirth, I very much enjoyed working on this with fellow coauthors Matthew Paterson and Ivan Drlička.

Here we explore:

Drivers of the need to integrate food production into woodland-based systems

Benefits spanning: climate change, biodiversity, food production, and societal

Barriers and enablers, including the impacts of productivist and monocultural approaches that dominate agriculture

Conditions necessary to make woody polyculture viable, upscaled, and the needs at a political-economic level

Significant transformational rather than incremental shifts are needed, including practical and financial valuation of ecosystem services
