DESCRIPTION:Food and farming have a greater impact on other sp
 ecies than any other sector\, yet how best to limi
 t these effects is contested. Reviewing progress i
 n interventions to encourage less damaging diets a
 nd to cut food loss and waste I conclude that both
  are essential\, but far from sufficient. On the s
 upply side\, quantification of the biodiversity im
 pacts of land-sharing\, land-sparing and mixed app
 roaches for almost 2000 individually-assessed spec
 ies reveals that on five continents high-yield far
 ming and sparing consistently outperform land shar
 ing\, and also offer considerable potential for lo
 wering greenhouse gas emissions. In contrast\, sha
 ring approaches that lower yields (such as organic
  production) risk causing grave damage to the majo
 rity of wild species.
