BOOKS AGROECOLOGY

Agroecology is defined by the OECD as "the study of the relation of agricultural crops and environment."

Agroecology is inherently multidisciplinary, including sciences such as agronomy, ecology, environmental science, sociology, economics, history and others.^[3] Agroecology uses different sciences to understand elements of ecosystems such as soil properties and plant-insect interactions, as well as using social sciences to understand the effects of farming practices on rural communities, economic constraints to developing new production methods, or cultural factors determining farming practices.^{[citation needed]} The system properties of agroecosystems studied may include: productivity, stability, sustainability and equitability.^[6] Agroecology is not limited to any one scale; it can range from an individual gene to an entire population, or from a single field in a given farm to global systems.^[3]  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agroecology
