Background, policy relevance and aim Background A growing human population and higher per-capita consumption rates of food and bio-energy call for a strong increase of agricultural production globally. Maintaining high agricultural production through intensive conventional agriculture with its reliance on agro-chemical inputs, however, threatens the long-term sustainability of agriculture and co
