Agroecology is the application of ecological concepts, the study of relationships between plants, animals, people, and their environment - and the balance between these relationships, and principals in farming.[1]

In the context of Food Sovereignty and localization, utilizing agroecology is key to transitioning away from and repairing the destructive effects[2] of industrial agriculture.[3]
