By narrowing the yield gap between the highest and lowest agricultural performers in a region through adopting existing practices and new technologies, agricultural production can increase, benefiting livestock and animal feed production. This process has the potential to improve diets, nutrition, and economic well-being for vulnerable communities.<\/li><li><strong><a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Strengthen Resilience<\/a>:<\/strong> <em>Strengthen resilience<\/em> entails bolstering the ability to withstand and rebound from environmental, economic, financial, and animal disease shocks, while also promoting resource efficiency. This involves implementing measures to enhance adaptive capacity, risk management, and response to changing conditions. By building resilience, communities and agricultural systems become better equipped to endure challenges and uncertainties, ensuring sustainable and efficient resource utilization even in the face of adversity.<\/li><li><strong><a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Secure Social Equity \/ Responsibility<\/a>: <\/strong><em>Secure Social Equity\/Responsibility<\/em> refers to the assurance of fairness and accountability in addressing a broad spectrum of social and ethical concerns within societies.

It was created by the convergence of two scientific disciplines: agronomy and ecology. As a science, agroecology is the \u201capplication of ecological science to the study, design and management of sustainable agroecosystems.\u201d As a set of agricultural practices, agroecology seeks ways to enhance agricultural systems by mimicking natural processes, thus creating beneficial biological interactions and synergies among the components of the agroecosystem. It provides the most favourable soil conditions for plant growth, particularly by managing organic matter and by raising soil biotic activity. The core principles of agroecology include recycling nutrients and energy on the farm, rather than introducing external inputs; integrating crops and livestock; diversifying species and genetic resources in agroecosystems over time and space; and focusing on interactions and productivity across the agricultural system, rather than focusing on individual species. Agroecology is highly knowledge-intensive, based on techniques that are not delivered top-down but developed on the basis of farmers\u2019 knowledge and experimentation.<\/p><h4>Definition Focus<\/h4><p>Science\/Practice<\/p><p>Ecological interactions,\u00a0Farmer-centered model<\/p><h4>Reference<\/h4><p>De Schutter, O. 2010.

Agroecology preserves rural spaces and structures and many positive aspects of traditional ways of life, is locally adapted, requires a lot of knowledge.

Agroecological practices contribute to the different goals of sustainable agriculture: to provide sufficient food for a growing world population, not to be harmful to the environment and natural resources, to limit use of non-renewable energy, and to ensure economic viability for farmers and their communities. Organic farming, diversified crop rotations, biological pest control, extensive agro-pastoral systems and agroforestry are examples of farming method using agroecology.<br \/>As a scientific discipline, agroecology studies are quite holistic: they study agroecosystems through an interdisciplinary lens looking at issues such as productivity, stability, sustainability and equitability. They consider issues related to agronomy, ecology, sociology, economics and politics at all relevant scales from the local level to the global level.<br \/>Social Movements: Many organisations, as well as many loosely networked individuals are working towards an agro-ecological food and farming future. Taken together, these can be seen, broadly speaking, as a social movement trying to make agri-food more resource savvy and thus genuinely sustainable in the longer term, more people and environment focused.<\/p><h4>Definition Focus<\/h4><p>Science\/Practice\/Social movement<\/p><p>Sustainability,\u00a0Food security,\u00a0Ecological interactions,\u00a0Economic development,\u00a0Rights and justice<\/p><h4>Reference<\/h4><p>Arc2020. 2018.

These systems involve agricultural production methods and sectors which value the ecological, economic and social potential of a territory. Their development relies on transdisciplinary approaches which bring together professionals from the agricultural world, scientists, actors of agroecology and public policy social movements. Agroecology is an alternative to intensive agriculture. It promotes agricultural production systems which value biological diversity and natural processes (the cycles of nitrogen, of carbon, of water, the biological balances between pests and auxiliary crops \u2026). Agroecology is developing in the scientific field as an approach integrating the concepts and methods of a variety of disciplines including agronomy, ecology, economics, sociology. Aiming to promote the services rendered by natural processes, it analyses at different levels (from field to territory, from individual to community, from short term to long term) the evolutionary relations which are created within these systems between the living, its management method, and the ecological, economic and social context of this management. Agroecology is brought into the public sphere by social movements which defend food sovereignty and small-scale agriculture. It also questions the way we eat, and it supports the development of short circuits in order to restore a link between our food products and their production mode. Agroecology calls for a real transition of the agricultural and agro-food sectors linked to energy transition. Committed to food systems, it also deals in a systemic vision with other aspects of our economy such as the production of alternative energies or fibres.<\/p><h4>Definition Focus<\/h4><p>Science\/Practice\/Social movement<\/p><p>Sustainability,\u00a0Food system,\u00a0Ecological interactions,\u00a0Disruption of power relations,\u00a0Rights and justice,\u00a0Farmer-centered model,\u00a0Territorial approach<\/p><h4>Reference<\/h4><p>INRA. 2016.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dicoagroecologie.fr\/en\/encyclopedia\/agroecology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dictionary<\/a>\u00a0of Agroecology.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-91011\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"12\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-91011\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Nature journal (Research community) <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-91011\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac768ef e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ac768ef\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ob_use_container_extras&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_column_hoveranimator&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_glider_is_slider&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_column_has_pseudo&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc32cca text elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bc32cca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ob_postman_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_widget_stalker_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_allow_hoveranimator&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Definition<\/h4><p>Agroecology is the study of the ecology of terrestrial agricultural systems.

This alternative is knowledge-intensive, requiring farmers to have a lot of knowledge about the functioning of various components in the ecological system, as well as an ability to create synergies between plants, insects, crops and soil fertility. The model also rests on traditional farming methods.<br \/>Agroecology is a real alternative to conventional agricultural production, and a model that safeguards both the climate and social development. However, it requires civil society to push for change from the bottom up, and for markets worldwide to transition to supporting alternative ways of farming the land.<\/p><h4>Definition Focus<\/h4><p>Practice<\/p><p>Ecological interactions,\u00a0Farmer-centered model,\u00a0Disruption of power relations<\/p><h4>Reference<\/h4><p>Lund University. 2018.
