I would suggest to explicitly include consumption aspects in the assessment of agroecology and other innovative approaches, practices and technologies, i.e. to explicitly adopt a food systems perspective when doing such an assessment, not focusing on agricultural production only. This is important in a context where agroecology may go along with lower yields and changed output patterns (e.g. when livestock is reared on grass, waste and by-products only). To avoid leakage or increased land use in such a case, changes in consumption patterns (reduced share of animal products in diets for high-income countries/classes; reduced food wastage and losses) are a key complement of big leverage to the changes on the production side.
