The role of ecosystem services in the design of agroecological transitions in Spain

Abstract

We can pursue a more resilient and sustainable future if both agriculture and the food system evolve driven by a new model based on agroecology. By applying ecological principles, agroecological farming adapts to local resources, closes biomass and nutrient cycles, and enhances soil biological activity, as well as soil conservation and regeneration. We explore new approaches based on the conceptualization of archetypes to identify which areas comply better with an agroecological transition that entails rebalancing of provisioning, regulating and cultural ecosystem services.
