Abstract Given the extensive impact of humans on ecosystems and uncertainty faced by decision-makers when choosing among alternatives, formal support is required for decision-making in complex agroecological systems. While approaches producing reliable projections accounting system complexity do exist, rarely use them to assess costs, benefits, risks agroecology development. Here, we review lit...

The term agroecology is not new, since it first appeared in scientific literature the 1930s. In recent years, seems to have enjoyed increasing success. It constitutes a new sustainable path for rural development and adaptation climate change. This study will allow us assess impacts of this mode production agroecological techniques.

Agroecological research has improved our understanding of the drivers and benefits of biodiversity, thus providing the scientific basis needed to achieve agricultural multifunctionality. We review how agroecology has contributed to our understanding of the effects of local and landscape level drivers on beneficial insects, as well as on the ecosystem services they provide. Several syntheses fro...

The co-creation of knowledge is gaining recognition and use within the science, practice, movement agroecology. Knowledge fosters participatory learning development, which differs from passive sharing. This approach can bridge real perceived gaps across diverse forms knowledge, including what often distinguished as farmers’ traditional, Indigenous, tacit, or local experts’ scientific, western, ...

Addressing human and social values is a core element of agroecology, including questions equity justice in food systems, supporting autonomy well-being producers, fostering meaningful, dignified forms systems work, reshaping ways interacting with nonhuman species ecosystems. In this article, we review peer-reviewed literature related to agroecology. We identified growing science on agroecology ...
