Understanding agroecology - Introduction

What is agroecology? By its nature, the concept of agroecology is multifaceted and entails the three dimensions of science, practice and social movements. Agroecology is also strongly connected with the local context and traditions. All of this, makes it difficult to find a unique, universal definition of agroecology.
But the growing use of the term in the scientific literature and the rising interest of policymakers, call for clarity. Agroecology was identified as one of the strategies to meet the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, it was suggested to be part of the new Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union, and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations organized two symposiums around it.
