Multi-Scale Integrated Analysis of Agroecosystems

0 - Default Title
Description
This book explores alternative ways to study agricultural sustainability, applying complex systems theory to actual cases. This innovative text recognizes the changing dynamics of the multiple processes and cross-relations within an environment, and proposes a clearer analysis of agroecosystems than that which can be provided by rigid, reductionist methods. Main concepts, new vocabulary and narratives, and practical examples open the book, followed by technical chapters that provide a more detailed explanation of concepts. The final section of the book presents a tool kit based on these concepts, resulting in strong support of empirical observations that challenge traditional notions of the sustainability of farming systems, food systems, and agroecosystems.
