Sinossi
The planet’s reliance on industrial agriculture has resulted in serious environmental and social costs, including high greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, biodiversity loss and widening gaps in food security across the world. Transitioning to agroecological practices is recognised as one solution to reversing the unsustainable trajectory of energy-intensive food systems.
The science and practice of agroecology: Pathway to sustainable food systems reviews where we are in terms of the ecological theory underpinning agroecosystem function, the synergies, yield and other tradeoffs involved in practical agroecosystems as well as their social dimensions.
- Summarises the latest developments in ecological principles underpinning agroecology which provide the foundation for approaches such as regenerative agriculture
- Reviews how to balance trade-offs in agroecosystems to balance yields with resilience and protection of biodiversity
- Assesses how to optimise practical agroecosystems by involving farmers and using open-source technology and indigenous knowledge

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The planets reliance on industrial agriculture has resulted in serious environmental and social costs, including high greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity loss and widening gaps in food security across the world. Transitioning to agroecological practices is recognised as one solution to reversing the unsustainable trajectory of energy-intensive food systems.The science and practice of agroecology: Pathway to sustainable food systems explores key developments and issues in positioning agroecology as a new paradigm for agriculture. The book comprehensively discusses what is wrong with existing productivist models of agriculture and what a sustainable alternative might look like, including the importance of indigenous knowledge in that process.The book explores how insights from ecological science have transformed our understanding of how to create more resilient, synergistic agro-ecosystems that work effectively with, rather than against, ecological processes. The book also reviews potential synergies and trade-offs in making agroecological transitions, such as the need to maintain yields alongside the delivery of other key ecosystem services and goals. Finally, the book focuses on the social dimensions of agroecology and how to empower communities to develop local solutions which collectively hold the promise of creating the transformation of global agriculture needed for a truly sustainable future. This book provides a detailed overview of key developments in agroecology the theoretical foundation for more sustainable approaches such as regenerative agriculture. It focuses on how agroecological knowledge can be translated into farming practices across distinct agroecosystems. This item is printed on demand.
