To promote and maintain health in agricultural and food systems, appropriate criteria are needed for the description and assessment of the health of soils, plants, animals, humans and ecosystems. Here we identify the concept of resilience as a universally applicable and fundamentally important criterion of health in all relevant areas of agriculture. We discuss definitions of resilience for soils, plants, animals, humans and ecosystems, and explore ways in which resilience can be applied as a criterion of health in different agricultural contexts. We show how and why resilience can be seen as a key criterion of health. Based on this, we discuss how resilience can be used as a link between soil, plant, animal, human and ecosystem health. Finally, we highlight four key areas for future research on resilience in agriculture, namely spatial and temporal scaling of resilience; effects of diversity; the role of networks for resilience; and stakeholder involvement.
为了促进和维持农业及食品系统的健康，需要有适当的标准来描述和评估土壤、植物、动物、人类和生态系统的健康状况。在此，我们确定恢复力的概念是农业所有相关领域中普遍适用且至关重要的健康标准。我们讨论了土壤、植物、动物、人类和生态系统恢复力的定义，并探讨了在不同农业背景下将恢复力用作健康标准的方法。我们展示了恢复力如何以及为何可被视为健康的关键标准。基于此，我们讨论了恢复力如何作为土壤、植物、动物、人类和生态系统健康之间的联系。最后，我们强调了农业恢复力未来研究的四个关键领域，即恢复力的时空尺度；多样性的影响；网络对恢复力的作用；以及利益相关者的参与。
