We are no longer updating the Research Digest. All content remains.
The Permaculture Research Digest has summaries of newly published permaculture-related research. All items are hyper-linked to the original publication.
The 'January 2013' archive contains 60 items published in 2012.
Items marked with a # have restricted public access, although abstracts are freely available.
Agroecology has three forms—a scientific discipline, an
agricultural practice, and a social movement. Their integration has
provided a collective-action mode for contesting the dominant agro-food
regime and creating alternatives. But agroecology has been recently adopted by
some actors who also promote conventional agriculture.
Tensions between “conform versus transform” roles can be identified in
European agroecological research. To play a
transformative role, collaborative strategies need to go beyond the
linear stereotype whereby scientists “transfer” technology to farmers. When farmer–scientist
alliances co-create and exchange knowledge, such gains can transform
the research system.
