The document discusses approaches for balancing ecological, social, and economic factors in sustainable land management. It summarizes findings from the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment that agriculture has degraded most ecosystem services and biodiversity is threatened. However, many services could be reversed by 2050 through education, investment in public goods, technology, and proactive policies. Achieving balance requires technical solutions at various scales, social organization, economic incentives, and general modeling of links between ecological, economic, and institutional factors.
