Declarations
:
: The authors declare no competing interests, but we note for transparency that Rythu Sadhikara Samstha (the agency in charge of rolling out the ZBNF programme) provided us with information on where ZBNF is widely practiced. However, they had no influence on the final site selection and data collection process. L.V.D is a Board Member of Natural England, the UK Government's statutory nature conservation advisor for England.
: The field data underpinning this study is also part of another manuscript, entitled 'Agroecological transition delivers win–win outcomes for people and nature', that is currently under review in Nature Ecology & Evolution (preprint: ). Whilst both manuscripts are based on the same data, they address entirely different questions and involve completely different analyses. Thus, it does not constitute dual publication.
