Agroforestry systems provide numerous ecological and environmental advantages. They protect crops, livestock, soil and watercourses, stimulate biodiversity, contribute to carbon sequestration and even mitigate the effects of climate change. In terms of social and economic benefits, these systems create jobs, improve public opinion and perceptions of agriculture and forestry, and enhance the landscape. In addition, agroforestry systems generate additional farm revenues over and above producers' traditional farm revenues – a good way for producers to diversify their economic activities! 1, record 1, English, - agroforestry%20system

Les systèmes agroforestiers procurent de nombreux avantages écologiques et environnementaux. Ils protègent les cultures, le bétail, les sols et les cours d’eau, stimulent la biodiversité, contribuent au captage du carbone et atténuent même les effets des changements climatiques. Sur les plans social et économique, ces systèmes créent des emplois, améliorent la perception de l'opinion publique sur l'activité agricole et forestière et embellissent le paysage. De plus, les systèmes agroforestiers permettent de générer des revenus additionnels à la ferme qui s’ajoutent aux revenus agricoles conventionnels du producteur. 2, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20agroforestier

On entend par agrobiodiversité l’ensemble des composantes de la diversité biologique liées à l’alimentation, à l’agriculture et aux fonctionnements des écosystèmes agricoles. Elle implique toutes les formes d’élevage d’animaux, de plantes, de microorganismes et de champignons ainsi que les espèces sauvages apparentées. De même, les «services rendus» par les écosystèmes agricoles font partie de l’agrobiodiversité : par exemple, les processus écologiques nécessaires au maintien de la fertilité du sol, à la régulation des parasites et des maladies ou à la pollinisation. 4, record 4, French, - biodiversit%C3%A9%20agricole

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. One of the goals of the Agricultural Policy Framework (APF) is to position Canada as the world leader in environmentally responsible production while improving air, water and soil quality and conserving biodiversity. To help ensure the agriculture industry is on the correct path to achieving this goal, and to help determine the impact policies and programs have on the environment, the Government of Canada established the National Agri-Environmental Health Analysis and Reporting Program (NAHARP). 1, record 5, English, - National%20Agri%2DEnvironmental%20Health%20Analysis%20and%20Reporting%20Program

Pour aider le secteur agricole à atteindre ce but et pour déterminer les répercussions des politiques et des programmes sur l'environnement, le gouvernement du Canada a mis en place le Programme national d’analyse et de rapport en matière de santé agroenvironnementale(PNARSA). 1, record 5, French, - Programme%20national%20d%26rsquo%3Banalyse%20et%20de%20rapport%20en%20mati%C3%A8re%20de%20sant%C3%A9%20agroenvironnementale

What would constitute excessive cumulative effects of hydroelectric dams in the three provinces surrounding Hudson Bay? How many people is enough for the planetary norms to sustain? In answering these questions, much more than biodiversity values/functions are at stake since the destruction or collapse of norms locally, regionally or even globally can have major impacts upon the economies (i.e. the efficiencies and success of natural systems in creating and maintaining the ecosphere) of nature and humans alike. 1, record 6, English, - planetary%20norm

Quelle population humaine la norme planétaire peut-elle tolérer de façon durable? La réponse à ces questions met en jeu beaucoup plus que les fonctions et valeurs de la biodiversité, car la destruction ou l'effondrement d’une situation normale à l'échelle planétaire, régionale ou même locale peut avoir un impact considérable autant sur l'économie de la nature(c'est-à-dire sur la capacité ou le rendement des systèmes naturels quant à la création et au maintien de l'écosphère) que sur l'économie humaine. 1, record 6, French, - norme%20plan%C3%A9taire
