可持续集约化是一个过程，旨在实现更高的农业产量，同时减少农业对环境的负面影响。这是一个在过去十年中非常突出的想法，但它也引起了许多不同利益相关者的相当大的担忧。尤其令人担心的是，它可能被用来证明集约化本身和加速采用特定形式的高投入和高科技农业是合理的。本文探讨了围绕可持续集约化概念的一些问题，包括：该术语本身如何成为辩论的中心，它如何被用于支持不同的世界观，以及它如何演变以帮助粮食系统应对未来的环境和粮食安全挑战。
Sustainable intensification is a process designed to achieve higher agricultural yields whilst simultaneously reducing the negative impact of farming on the environment. It is an idea that has had much prominence over the last decade, but which has also raised considerable concerns among a number of different stakeholders. In particular, there are worries that it might be used to justify intensification per se and the accelerated adoption of particular forms of high-input and hi-tech agriculture. Here, some of the issues surrounding the concept of sustainable intensification are explored including: how the term itself has become a centre of debate, how it has been appropriated to support different worldviews, and how it might evolve to help the food system respond to the environmental and food security challenges ahead.
