DESCRIPTION:Food and farming have a greater impact on other species than a
 ny other sector\, yet how best to limit these effects is contested. Review
 ing progress in interventions to encourage less damaging diets and to cut 
 food loss and waste I conclude that both are essential\, but far from suff
 icient. On the supply side\, quantification of the biodiversity impacts of
  land-sharing\, land-sparing and mixed approaches for almost 2000 individu
 ally-assessed species reveals that on five continents high-yield farming a
 nd sparing consistently outperform land sharing\, and also offer considera
 ble potential for lowering greenhouse gas emissions. In contrast\, sharing
  approaches that lower yields (such as organic production) risk causing gr
 ave damage to the majority of wild species.
