Agroecology is the science of applying ecological
concepts and principles to manage interactions between plants, animals,
humans and the environment for food security and nutrition. All over the world farmers already apply this approach, which has a fundamental pillar in traditional and local knowledge. FAO recognizes the importance of farmers managing
human and natural capital to improve food security, nutrition, and rural
development. Here are some examples of how farmers are acting as the
custodians of complex and innovative techniques that, through
agroecology, combine local knowledge, traditional products and
innovation. Each
profile provides a description of the agroecological approach applied
in that farm, the challenges faced and impacts of the agroecological
solutions.
