Resumen:
The growing human population and increasing per-capita consumption drive demand for more agricultural production (Roberts 2011). In keeping with the United Nations biodiversity strategy (United Nations 2012), the challenge is to satisfy this demand and mitigate the yield gap while causing no further biodiversity loss or degradation of ecosystem services (Godfray et al. 2010; Bommarco, Kleijn, & Potts 2013). This requires productive agricultural systems that are also stable over space and time, despite climate change. Although different agricultural systems will require different solutions (Cunningham et al. 2013), there is an emerging general principle that ecosystem services benefit from biodiversity and can generally enhance the mean and stability of agricultural productivity (Garibaldi et al. 2011b, 2013; Tscharntke et al. 2012; Bommarco et al. 2013).
