abstract = "Nature-based solutions (NbS) approach in agriculture aims at establishing some new agri-food systems relationships to bring health co-benefits and achieve global food security similar to agroecology. These similarities are most pronounced in methods (conservation agriculture, agroforestry, nutrient management, C-farming reforestation etc.) that can be used to reach the goals of sustainability in food production and addressing societal challenges. The differences between these two concepts are how they access the problem - while NbS has a top-down approach, agroecology uses using bottom-up direction. The territory is argued to be a decisive point for both NbS and agroecology as a place where these two concepts overlap. Conversely, this could be an advantage for reaching the inclusiveness and synergies necessary for scaling out sustainable systems that lead to multiple benefits in agriculture. This could help the current system of agricultural production encompassing the farm vs. food system approach and foster the integration of methods and mechanisms of transition to establish the new food systems. Identifying where the territorial domain of NbS and agroecology overlap is important and may represent the eatery point where the transition of agriculture can be initiated. Given the agroecological background and socio-economical conditions, we can propose using such an approach to agri-food transformation in Serbia. Developing a coherent policy framework based on a holistic performance covering sustainable intensification and traditional food production based on innovation could be a way forward in agri-food improvement.",
