Habitat fragmentation cannot increase #biodiversity at landscape scales. Habitat must be restored & connectivity increased to minimize biodiversity losses: doi.org/10.1038/s415... >> To restore habitat, #landsparing (high-yielding agriculture) is better than #landsharing (e.g. in #organic farming)?

Current conservation policies risk accelerating #biodiversity loss
"Three approaches that aim to cut the harms of #agriculture — land sharing, rewilding and #organic farming — risk driving up food imports and causing environmental damage overseas. An alternative approach is both effective and cheaper."

Great new study shows that the Jevons paradox is real: increasing agricultural productivity to "spare" land actually increases land conversion #agriculture #foodsecurity #landsharing #landsparing https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10531-022-02540-4

Ah, the #LandSharing vs #LandSparing debate brings some data. Interesting.
"The study suggests that this “land sparing” approach would cost just 48% of the funds required to achieve the same outcomes for #biodiversity and the #climate through an approach known as “land sharing”, where conservation measures get mixed into farming by adding hedgerows to fields, reducing pesticides, and so on – all of which lowers food yield."
