Samenvatting

Abstract Hundreds to even thousands of years of environmental destruction left the Chinese Loess Plateau a virtual “moonscape.” However, strategic restoration efforts combining satellite technology and community involvement led to recovery of the vegetation cover, and even though areas of agricultural production were reduced, productivity has since increased. A strong call for replication of this process in other parts of the world emerged from this experience, as well as a paradigm shift in economic thinking, putting the emphasis on ecological function rather than on what is extracted from nature. This approach is essential to safeguard a sustainable relationship with the environment.
