Agroecology: Ecological Processes in Sustainable Agriculture

Global Food and Nutrition Security

Agroecology: Ecological Processes in Sustainable Agriculture provides the theoretical and conceptual framework for the study and analysis of agroecosystems. The author builds upon the understanding of the complex factors of the environment as they affect agricultural crops and animals and examines concepts at a systems level, focusing on interactions and interrelationships on the population, community, and ecosystem levels. Informative case studies demonstrate how ecology can be applied to agriculture and each chapter concludes with questions to ensure a complete understanding of the information.
