Case studies: Sustainable agriculture and its role in maintaining ecosystem services

Wetlands, if sustainably managed for agricultural and conservation purposes, can significantly contribute to ensuring food security. Cases in sustainable agriculture are shared, with key recommendations highlighted:

• Promotion of the sustainable coexistence of agriculture and wetlands; 

• Use of interventions available to rebalance economic development and ecosystem health of wetlands through participatory processes and the formulation of incentives; and 

• Taking integrated resources management into account through adaptive and ecosystem approaches, in particular, in the context of dynamic drivers of socioeconomic and climate change.
