Notas del editor

  • Many people subscribe to the idea that there is no way to successfully combine ecosystem function and production for human needs. The Economist, in its special report on feeding the world from early 2011, quickly dismisses concerns about the ecosystem impact of people’s land use. The solution the article proposes for feeding the world in the future is to continue developing the yields of our existing staple crops.

    The strange thing about this position is that the Economist notes that the growth of yields has been slowing down. But they are counting on human ingenuity and the promise of genetic engineering to push the pace of yield growth back up again.

    My question is: what if we applied human ingenuity to the problem of feeding the world together with the problem of sustaining the world’s ecosystems? I am not calling a halt to development of our traditional crops, I am recommending that we not invest all our energy into systems that seriously impair global ecological function.

    In order to inform the discussion of people designing systems to restore ecosystem function, it is worth getting our minds around the size of human impact on ecosystems at this point in history….
