چکیده
Globally, farming systems are mostly dominated by monoculture, which has the advantage of profitability at expense ecological systems. Recent years have witnessed an increasing momentum in global efforts to deploy sustainable agriculture practices that mimic processes, with agroecology forefront. In addition aspect, also encompasses economic and social aspects targeting whole food system. Transformative been recognized as a stepping stone achieving several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), due its great potential build climate change-resilient while enhancing ecosystem services reducing biodiversity loss. Nonetheless, available literature on recent developments future trajectories adoption approaches for improving production cereals, most important group crops, is limited. This review aims highlight blueprint can contribute achievements SDGs, allowing explicit interpretation term will benefit twenty-first century agriculture. Using cereal crops case study, we provide insights into how far this field come main barriers adoption, conclude approach “science society” way forward building resilient future.
