"Building resilience: Impact of pesticide reduction strategies on food security" by Boysen-Urban, Kirsten, Kathrin Urban, Rim Hassouni and Ole Boysen Abstract Plant pests and diseases can significantly reduce crop yields, threatening food security. Pesticides are widely used to manage these threats and play a vital role in ensuring food security. However, their use also has negative impacts on the environment, such as water pollution and biodiversity loss, and on human health. This study aims to assess the impacts of different more sustainable production practices leading to reduced pesticide use on agricultural production, farm income and food security. The range of possible impacts of different sustainable production practices leading to reduced pesticide use on yields and yield stability, but also on biodiversity and related ecosystem services, and their associated impacts on crop production and yields, are extracted from a thorough literature review. Using this information, we simulate different what-if scenarios to assess the likely impacts of sustainable production practices and reduced pesticide use on agricultural yields in the context of a sustainable transformation of the agri-food system, using an extended version of the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) model. |
