- An audiovisual support to teach agroecology.
This film was made in the framework of the Erasmus+ project called "Euro-EducATES, Teaching agroecology in the transitory period and its consequences for the Agricultural Knowledge Systems."
It starts in September 2015 and ends in August 2018.
This European project aims to professionalize and assist teachers and trainers in agricultural schools in order to implement the environmental objectives initiated by the European Union. We develop common and innovative European educational tools to support teachers and trainers to teach agroecology.

There is not one definition of agroecology in Europe, yet agroecology can be considered as a science, a set of practices, a social movement.
The aim of this film is to illustrate the diversity of approaches of agroecology in the partners countries through different points of view (research, practices, education, public policies) :

Great video, this is very motivative. I love agroecological farming and want to start it as soon as possible.
he puts it very well

I am seeing bare soil, signs of tillage and irrigation. Where is the discussion of soil health? It is so important to retain the heirloom seeds and varieties, but they will not meet their full potential unless the soil microbiome and especially the mycorrhizal fungi are abundant. This cannot happen with exposed, tilled soil. The soil is the foundation of agroecology. Give nature what she needs and she will do the rest, it's too complicated and she has had 3 billion years of R&D. Farm with nature.
Thanks
Spot on
Yes, many of them seemed to employ outdated practices along with some minor aspect of agro ecology. On the other hand, this Valentina Genys dude seems to have a real nice system rolling. Multispecies no till full living cover all year round, hell yeah that's the future. Maybe a bit lacking in the edges/tree cover department, but to be honest it's already really impressive.
They've told me what agroecology is not, but not what it is. Still waiting for a definition. The description on this video defines it as a science and a social movement. That is all very general and not at all instructive.
That is because is is very wide ranging and includes lots of different approaches. But I think using knowledge to care for the soil and to create equitable social food systems are the most important. It began with indigenous wisdom- eg South America - sowing beans with corn and squash for example, then developed as a cross between ecology and agriculture - the science bit.
As an American, seeing all these makes me jealous
Inspiration is a good jealousy 😂
If you want to know the scientific proof that policulture is the solution see conferences of Dr Cristina Jones. It is about microbiology and fungus.
You can look at the Jena experiment results as well, somewhere in Germany. Something like 20 years worth of cultivating the same parcels in mosaic, ranging from tilled monoculture high fertilizer high biocides, to high diversity no till plant consortium mix.
And well, high diversity no intrants produces around the same as low diversity high fertilizer high intrants, while being less susceptible to disease, drought, floods, pests, etc... Plus it costs WAY less (when I say high intrants, it's "you're already in the red from just the intrants even if you work for free" kind of high xD).
Kind of a definitive proof to show to people stuck in the old paradigm.
@@brunetyannick1174 jena experiment is a milestone. The best way to shut up everyone's mouth is find statistical proof. Doesn't need explanation, just observation and control context to compare. Second step is generalisation to all local contexts . I live in tropical context where policulture is queen , just need to make a proof of context here. It has been done with a German team (again? German are waterproof) German team did a similar experiment with biochar. We learn a lot with the freedom of internet, are we? Let's keep internet free!
Here , in the tropics, Jena experiment is called Muvuca. , From the native Indians it means mixture of people , mixture of organisms, mixture of plants. Competition comes from looking for the same nutrients, synergy comes from different needs and finding positive exchange. A difficult but constructive process. Let's go there, pouca a pouco.
