Nature-based solutions (NBSs) are at the core of the sustainability discussion as the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration kicks off. These include a diverse set of tools for simulating different integrated approaches to achieving agri-food security while also addressing environmental issues. In this regard, the design and implementation of a multidimensional “5A approach” that includes agriculture, apiculture, aquaculture, agroforestry, and animal-based farming as NBSs opens up a portfolio of eco-innovative rational options that are scalable and adaptable by farming communities, providing a plausible and optimistic path towards climate-smart agricultural practices. We hypothesize that the The “5A approach” integrates both sustainability issues and concerns about “how and where we produce our foods,” which have a considerable influence on the diversity of the diets available on our plates. Embracing the “5A approach” as NBSs tackles five critical parts of the agri-food chain. These are as follows: (1) sustainable practices with a focus on production; (2) use of nature-friendly methods for soil and water conservation; (3) amelioration, for the restoration of conditions for plants, water, soil, or air, as well as climate change mitigation; (4) conservation, with a focus on biodiversity and ecosystem connectivity; and (5) food diversity that may benefit human health. The system removes the conventional barrier between production and conservation, giving farmers who use the 5A approach usefulness, purpose, flexibility, and scalability.
