Abstract

Two major scientific fields that are researching sustainability in agriculture, namely agroecology and sustainable intensification, have produced extensive research bases. However, they rarely acknowledge the limitations of their approach or engage with each other. This lack of dialogue might hamper potential progress in sustainable agriculture research.
