Agroecologically-conducive policies: A review of recent advances and remaining challenges
Debate on the need for significant transformations towards more nutrition oriented, environmentally sustainable, and inclusive food systems has generated increased attention towards agroecology in recent years. This paper assesses how different policies can affect incentives for agroecology. The assessment reveals that few countries have embarked on a broad set of reforms with sustained commitments – many policies are new, weakly institutionalized and supported by limited budgets, making it difficult to analyze their effects.

Agroforestry: A primer
Agroforestry is not new: farmers have practiced it for millennia, and scientists have recognized it since the 1970s. But now agroforestry is at centerstage: it is promoted as a land-use strategy to support climate mitigation and adaptation, biodiversity, sustainable agriculture and more. However, agroforestry is not just a matter of adding trees to farms: to realize its potential, practitioners need to understand its principles. This guide shares those principles – and how to use them effectively.

Bioenergy for landscape restoration and livelihoods: Re-creating energy-smart ecosystems on degraded landscapes
Land restoration and bioenergy are leading solutions for climate change and sustainable development. But restoration is often perceived as ‘going back to the past’, and bioenergy development can be controversial given its impacts on land use and communities. This book shows how, under the right conditions, land restoration and bioenergy production can be synergetic. It provides evidence and lessons from six years of pioneering initiatives in Indonesia to combine these objectives in a people-centered way.

Hunting Wildlife in the Tropics and Subtropics
Hunting wild animals is an essential food source and income generator for millions of Indigenous and rural communities worldwide, but overhunting has caused the decline and extinction of many animal species. If those who depend on these resources are to continue hunting wild meat, sustainable practices must be implemented. These communities need to remain or become custodians of the wildlife resources within their lands, for their own well-being as well as for biodiversity in general.

Ten people-centered rules for socially sustainable ecosystem restoration
As the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration begins, there remains insufficient emphasis on human and social dimensions of restoration. Restoration’s potential for achieving ecological and social goals can only be met through a shift toward people-centered restoration strategies. This paper synthesizes critical insights from a special issue on “Restoration for whom, by whom” to propose actionable ways to center humans and social dimensions in ecosystem restoration, with the aim of generating fair and sustainable initiatives.

The number of tree species on Earth
One of the most fundamental questions in ecology is how many species inhabit the Earth – but the answer remains largely unknown. Here, based on global ground-sourced data, we estimate the total tree species richness at global, continental, and biome levels. Our results indicate that there are ∼73,000 tree species globally, with ∼9,000 species yet to be discovered. The findings highlight the vulnerability of tree species to climate and land-use change.

Transforming food systems with trees and forests
The global food system is failing to deliver sufficient and nutritious food to all, while damaging the earth and unsustainably drawing down its resources. We argue that trees and forests are essential to solving these challenges. We outline the current contributions of trees and forests to the global food system and present recommendations to leverage these contributions as part of the efforts to reshape food systems to better support healthy diets and environmental sustainability.
