    The project aims to raise awareness and establish a basis for informed decision-making by public and private actors to support ecosystem services and contribute to long-term food security and sustainable agriculture development. Ecosystem services in agriculture are the benefits society gets from the environment thanks to farmers interventions. Nutritious food, clean water, healthy soils, pest and disease control and biodiversity are just a few examples of those benefits.

    Climate and ecosystem service benefits of forests and trees for agriculture 2025

    Forests and trees are powerful, often undervalued allies of agriculture. This publication—developed by FAO, SEI, The Nature Conservancy and Conservation International—synthesizes the latest science on how forests and trees regulate climate, water and ecosystem functions that directly underpin agricultural performance. It examines their positive influence on temperature, rainfall patterns, water availability, soil fertility, pollination and pest management across multiple scales.Unlocking these benefits requires integrated landscape approaches, cross-sector governance, and policies that recognize forest conservation, restoration and sustainable use as strategic investments in food security, public health and climate resilience. Promoting forest–agriculture synergies offers a pathway toward more productive, sustainable and equitable agrifood systems.

    Incentives for ecosystem services (IES) are packages that aim to support farmers in the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices that will benefit the environment. Agricultural practices play a critical role for the environment. Likewise, the environment plays a vital role for the whole planet. Using and adopting agricultural practices that preserve, support and benefit all the ‘services’ provided by the environment, clean air and water, biodiversity, healthy soil, pollination etc. is ess ential if we are serious about a sustainable use of natural resources.
