With a growing global demand for food and fiber, a critical challenge is to integrate agricultural commodity production and biodiversity conservation. Local-scale measures that typically help to achieve such integration are the retention of patches of native vegetation, the maintenance of structural complexity in farmed areas, minimizing chemical use, and using practices that are locally proven to benefit biodiversity. At a landscape-scale, structural connectivity and landscape heterogeneity are likely to benefit biodiversity. Although intensive land use may be appropriate in some situations, in many cases, biodiversity conservation and commodity production can be successfully integrated.
