Nutrition as a driver and outcome of agroecology
Abstract
The principles of agroecology do not explicitly state a link with nutrition. Yet, we argue that among them, input reduction, biodiversity, economic diversification, social values and diets, fairness, connectivity and participation are directly linked to nutrition. Nutrition can serve as a critical outcome and driver of agroecological practices and can drive transformative change across the food system.

The findings make a strong case for agroecology as a key approach for achieving biodiversity targets, enhancing economic viability of farming systems, and supporting health, nutritional and food security goals.
“The findings make a strong case for agroecology as a key approach not only for achieving biodiversity targets and enhancing economic viability of farming systems but also in supporting the delivery of health, nutritional and food security goals (Ume et al., 2022;van Zutphen et al., 2022).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
