Ecosystem services for a global agroecological transition - Services écosystémiques pour une transition agroécologique à l’échelle mondiale

Abstract

There is now clear scientific evidence of the existence of planetary boundaries characterizing the equilibrium of the planet since the beginnings of agriculture and cities 10,000 years ago, and which our consumption patterns (especially food) of the last 50 years have contributed to largely exceed (climate, biodiversity, water, pollution, biogeochemical cycles). The planetary boundaries concept calls for a new paradigm to regenerate, following the principles of agroecology, the ecosystem services (support, harvesting, regulation and cultural services) that intensive
