• Ecosystem services and economic development in Austrian agricultural landscapes - The impact of policy and climate change scenarios on trade-offs and synergies (2015, background): “This frequently comes at the cost of provisioning ES such as biomass production for human use (Schmid et al., 2004; Badgley et al., 2007; Pretty et al., 2006).”
• Ecosystem services and agriculture: tradeoffs and synergies (2010, background): “The introduction of these types of practices into resource-poor agroecosystems in 57 developing countries resulted in a mean relative yield increase of 79 per cent (Pretty et al. 2006).”
• Evaluating agricultural trade-offs in the age of sustainable development (2016, background): “Already, over a third of the world's land surface and nearly three quarters of its freshwater resources are devoted to agriculture (Dobermann et al., 2013; HLPE, 2013; Pretty et al., 2006).”
• Bioenergy and sustainable development (2007, background): “depend not just on technological approaches but also social processes that value community involvement and empowerment (147); social and human capital can help agricultural productivity and natural capital grow (197, 198).”
• Organic Farming and Small-Scale Farmers: Main Opportunities and Challenges (2017, background): “Different studies show that in developing countries, transition from resource 618 restricted and subsistence farming to OF, can increase the yield (Te Pas & Rees, 2014; FAO 619 website; Badgley et al., 2007; Pretty et al., 2006; Halberg, et al., 2006; UNEP, 2008; 620 Giovannucci, 2005).”
• Single‐trait functional indices outperform multi‐trait indices in linking environmental gradients and ecosystem services in a complex landscape (2013, result): “For instance, investigations of the spatial relationships among multiple ESs have yielded mixed results on whether hotspots of multiple ES delivery occur within a landscape (Pretty et al. 2006; Nelson et al. 2009), whether one service comes at the expense of another (Naidoo et al.”
• The politics of seed in Africa's green revolution: Alternative narratives and competing pathways (2011, background): “Others argue for a low-external input Green Revolution that focuses on the application of agroecological principles, minimising environmental impacts, reducing agricultural pollutants and carbon footprints (Pretty et al. 2006).”
