Towards an Integrated Mycorrhizal Technology: Harnessing Mycorrhiza for Sustainable Intensification in Agriculture

Sustainability in Agriculture In order to meet future needs of a growing human and to achieve food security in the context of climate change, food will likely need to increase—among other measures—while at the same minimizing negative environmental impact (Foley et al., 2011). intensification of agriculture (Garnett et al., 2013; Pretty and , 2014; Andres and Bhullar, 2016; Gunton et al., 2016), sometimes also ecological intensification, is likely to include key aspects of agriculture (e.g., Hobbs et al., 2008; Giller et al., 2015). of conservation agriculture (FAO, 2015) are no-till practices (Pittelkow et al., 2015), continuous crop cover (by various means, for example crops) and diversification practices (multi-cropping and crop rotations; et al., 2015).
