Descripción
There are major challenges to feed the world by 2050. External inputs must grow at about the same rate while decreasing returns in productivity can be compensated or possibly surpassed by further efficiency gains. Agriculture is responsible for approximately 70 percent of water withdrawals and about 60 percent of the population lives in areas of water stress. Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) can be part of the solution to meet this demand. Nature Based Solution has more than one definition. There is no straightforward distinction between NBS and other human induced management of ecosystem services. NBS is an umbrella concept that covers various processes.
