Production potential for agroecosystems in the future, based on 3 different climate models, ranges from no change to decreases of up to 19% by end of century.

Indigenous agroecosystems can achieve the goals of conserving biodiversity while increasing food production. Species richness within agroecosystems is often comparable to adjacent forest reserves. Historic production from indigenous agriculture is estimated to have potentially yielded enough food to feed more than 1.2 million people each year.
