Abstract
ABSTRACT - Consistent with the concept of ecosystem sustainability - defined as 'the ability of an ecosystem to maintain its potential for self-regulation in the long term' (Bender, Wagg and van der Heijden 2016) -sustainable agricultural production aims to meet future food, feed and fibre demands with the given natural resources and without adverse environmental impact or greater land consumption.
