Agroecology is a scientific field, set of practices, and social movement that applies ecological principles to the design and management of sustainable agricultural systems. It investigates the complex interactions within and between agroecosystems, integrating ecological, social, economic, and cultural dimensions of food production and distribution. Characterized by a holistic and interdisciplinary approach, its significance lies in developing resilient, equitable, and environmentally sound food systems that enhance biodiversity, conserve natural resources, and support livelihoods.
