The coming decades are likely to see increasing pressures on the global food system, both on the demand side from increasing population and per capita consumption, and on the supply side from greater competition for inputs and from climate change. This paper argues that the magnitude of the challenge is such that action is needed throughout the food system, on moderating demand, reducing waste, improving governance and producing more food. It discusses in detail the last component, arguing that more food should be produced using sustainable intensification (SI) strategies, and explores the rationale behind, and meaning of, this term. It also investigates how SI may interact with other food policy agendas, in particular, land use and biodiversity, animal welfare and human nutrition.
在未来几十年里，全球粮食系统可能会面临越来越大的压力，在需求端，人口增长和人均消费增加会带来压力；在供应端，投入品竞争加剧和气候变化也会造成压力。本文认为，这一挑战的规模之大，需要在整个粮食系统采取行动，包括调节需求、减少浪费、改善治理以及生产更多粮食。本文详细讨论了最后一个要素，认为应采用可持续集约化（SI）战略生产更多粮食，并探讨了这一术语背后的基本原理和含义。本文还研究了可持续集约化可能如何与其他粮食政策议程相互作用，特别是土地利用和生物多样性、动物福利以及人类营养。
