When first published in 2009, Nature's Matrix set out a radical new approach to the
conservation of biodiversity. This new edition pushes the frontier of the biodiversity/agriculture
debate further, making an even stronger case for the need to transform agriculture
and support small- and medium-scale agroecology and food sovereignty. In the first
edition, the authors set out a radical new approach to the conservation of biodiversity.
This is based on the concept of a landscape as a matrix of diverse, small-scale agricultural
ecosystems, providing opportunities to enhance conservation under the stewardship
of local farmers. This contrasts with the alternative view of industrial-scale farms
and large protected areas which exclude local people. However, since then the debate
around conservation and agriculture has developed significantly and this is reflected
in this updated second edition. The text is thoroughly revised, including: a reorganization
of chapters with new and timely topics introduced, updates to the discussion of agroecology
and food sovereignty, bringing it in line with the current debates, greater coverage
of the role of agroecology, in particular agroforestry, as an important component
of climate change adaptation and mitigation, highlighting recent studies on the role
of intensive agriculture in climate change and loss of biodiversity, and more attention
given to the discussion of land sparing versus land sharing. By integrating the ecological
aspects of agriculture and conservation biology, with a political and social analysis
as well as historical perspective, the book continues to set a progressive agenda
and appeals to a wide range of students and professionals
