Services provided by multifunctional agroecosystems: Questions, obstacles and solutions

Agroecosystems are facing new challenges in the context of a growing and increasingly interconnected human population, paradigm shift is needed to successfully address many complex questions that these will generate. The transition providing multiple services within an agroecosystem starting point for heightened multifunctionality, however, there still hesitation among stakeholders about moving towards multi-service systems, largely because lack knowledge linking productivity multifunctionality. We reason much this reticence could be overcome through better understanding stakeholder requirements innovative transdisciplinary research extended dimensions time space. assembled experts France identify priority co-constructing projects with stakeholders. identified 18 key questions, as well obstacles hinder their resolution propose potential solutions tackling obstacles. illustrate into multifunctionality service production must hugely collaborative effort needs integrate from different sectors communities. Promoting dialogue, standardization data-sharing would enhance progress. Biodiversity highlighted factor explore incorporate modelling approaches, but major advances made dynamic changes biodiversity-function-service nexus across landscapes.
