Poor-quality seed and weak seed systems can undermine landscape restoration for decades.
A limited podcast series about how to feed the planet without destroying the planet.
This study used a discounted cost–benefit analysis within a value chain framework, drawing on primary and secondary data, to assess the economic viability of agroecological transition using NPV, IRR, benefit–cost ratio, and payback period indicators. Our findings show that the benefits associated with agroecological transition significantly outweigh the costs, at both levels.
