The global food system is in the midst of a structural crisis characterized by the commodification of food and the dominance of market-oriented production logic, threatening...

Given the unpredictability, increasing frequency and severity of climatic events, it is crucial to determine the adaptation limits of agroecological strategies adopted by...

Farmer participation in the co-production of knowledge has been claimed to have many benefits, including its capacity to address the knowledge intensiveness and ecological...

As the gravity of the global social and ecological crises become more apparent, there is a growing recognition of the need for social transformation. In this article, we use a...

Although evidence continues to indicate an urgent need to transition food systems away from industrialized monocultures and toward agroecological production, there is little...

Industrial food production contributes heavily towards climate change, environmental degradation and the depletion of natural resources €“ and in so doing it erodes the very...

There is consensus that the global food system is not delivering good nutrition for all and is causing environmental degradation and loss of biodiversity, such that a profound...

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a leading complement and alternative to synthetic pesticides and a form of sustainable intensification with particular importance for...

This report is being launched in the same year that over 400 organisations have come together behind a Global Call to Action on Community and Indigenous Land Rights, drawing...

Urban agriculture (UA) has emerged as a key strategy to address food insecurity, climate change, and urban sustainability. This review synthesizes global evidence on the...

Litter decomposition is a critical Earth process, recycling nutrients and setting a portion of plant tissue on a path toward soil organic matter. Despite this importance, we...

Microplastics (MP) are an emerging contaminant in organic waste recycling, yet their occurrence and fate in anaerobic digestion (AD) systems remain poorly understood due to...

The increasing global demand for food and energy is intensifying land-use competition. Agrivoltaic systems are a multifunctional land-use approach that vertically integrates the...

Soil fertility plays an important role in crop production. However, continuous cropping with minimal fertilizer application has resulted in declining soil fertility and...

Livestock significantly contribute to biodiversity loss, primarily due to changes in land use, overexploitation of natural resources, pollution, and climate change. Intensive...

Background: Demand for organic foods remains low, despite the potential of organic products to contribute to sustainable food systems. Food purchasing decisions are influenced...

Anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) has emerged as an effective technology for treating poultry manure (PM) and food waste (FW), converting these organic materials into valuable...

Sustainable intensification has recently been developed and adopted as a key concept and driver for research and policy in sustainable agriculture. It includes ecological,...

To underline the need for radical, systemic changes, we have chosen the term AgroEcological Transitions€ for the title of this volume. It stresses that a transition towards...

There have been many calls for an agroecological transition to respond to food shocks and crises stemming from conventional food systems. Participatory action research and...
