Agroecological pathways is a conceptual framework and research domain that examines the dynamic processes and trajectories of transition towards food and agricultural systems based on agroecological principles. It investigates the complex interplay of ecological, social, economic, and political factors, including diverse actors and governance structures, that shape systemic shifts from conventional practices to those promoting ecological resilience, social equity, and sustainable livelihoods across various scales. Its significance lies in providing analytical tools and participatory approaches for understanding, facilitating, and scaling transformative change necessary to address contemporary environmental and societal challenges in agri-food systems.
