Resumen:
By addressing the trade-offs between food production and
biodiversity conservation at landscape and ecoregion scales,
the land sparing/sharing debate has made a significant
contribution to land use science. However, as global population
and food consumption grow, and urbanization and
transnational trade intensify, land use trade-offs need to be
analyzed at broader scales. These analyses should specifically
consider the role of environmental heterogeneity on
biodiversity distribution and agricultural suitability, the costs
and benefits transferred far away from the focal land use,
institutional and economic factors influencing stability and
resilience, technology-related factors as mediators of
agriculture suitability, and bundles of different environmental
services. In addition, land use strategies to balance agriculture
and biodiversity conservation must consider local
socioeconomic constraints and trade-offs.
