The four framing questions for this study are comprehensive and well-articulated. To cultivate an action orientation for the report recommendations, it may be useful to more explicitly explore policy and finance pathways for capitalizing on the FSN potential of agroecological approaches (e.g. developing, adapting, and facilitating access to agroecological technologies and practices).
With regard to 'bottom up' approaches, a review of existing examples and evidence for their effectiveness in increasing FSN would be helpful. For example, can 'bottom up' approaches be more effective in resolving tradeoffs (e.g. efficiency vs equity)?
Attention to cost-effective strategies (e.g. utilizing existing data systems) for monitoring of impacts would be a good addition.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the scope of the agroecology HLPE report.
