This comprehensive report outlines a new solution to the biodiversity extinction crisis, in response to its warnings that unless farmers and the world's poorest peoples can learn to coexist with wildlife, hundreds of species may be lost. The approach, called ecoagriculture, seeks to help farmers, most urgently those living in or near biodiversity hotspots, to grow more food while conserving habitats critical to wildlife.
