What is agroecology? (A definition)
Agroecology, in a broad sense, describes the science and practice of an agriculture that hinges on ecological principles and sustainability. It offers a markedly superior option to industrial agriculture in regard to the needs and wellbeing of wildlife and people. Given the large proportion of the Earth's land surface that is used by humans for agriculture, a transition to methods that are kinder to all life promises massive potential benefits for biodiversity and the wellbeing of humans, in the present and the future.
