This website comprises an overview of research on ecological agriculture in the U
K. The information forms an overview of existing resources and
ongoing research. The project was crowd funded. This review has revealed that while there is a vast volume of
existing literature on the science and politics of making agriculture
and forestry more sustainable, and considerable literature on organic
systems, very little research has been undertaken on the environmental,
social and economic benefits of diverse, labour intensive, smaller scale
ecological farms. The site is split into sections to provide an easy to use information
resource about agroecological research in the UK. You can find
information about
research institutions' projects and specialisms or
search for specific research papers by topic. There's also a
directory of UK research institutions who engage with agroecological issues. This site is composed of a network of live links, forming an
interactive portal to information about agroecological research in the
UK.
