The development of sustainable agricultural and food systems is so far almost exclusively proposed either at the scale of specific agricultural systems or for selected supply chains. Strongly neglected is the development of sustainable systems at a territorial scale. We, therefore, present here the concept of agroecology territories. We define agroecology territories as places where a transition process toward sustainable agriculture and food systems is engaged. Three major domains must be considered for the transition to take place: adaptation of agricultural practices; conservation of biodiversity and natural resources; and development of embedded food systems. Stakeholder group strategies, developed by those who actively engage in these three domains and are themselves actors in the transition, are integral to agroecology territories.

Agroecology territories: places for sustainable agricultural and food systems and biodiversity conservation

Writing of business papers isn't an easy task mostly to students that are in their high degree of education and mastergrades.com always tries to write these papers in a perfect way. Nonetheless, the writing of the draft isn't a prerequisite, but nevertheless, it might be wise to complete it.
