Since the end of World War II, we are facing an increase in agricultural intensification and industrialization to ensure the sustainability of food supply. This agricultural revolution was a success in terms of food production. However, it also led to (semi-)natural habitat destruction and fragmentation, increased field size, simplified crop…
