Agroecology
For multi-performance agricultural systems
In agroecology, ecological principles are applied to agricultural systems to optimise interactions between plants, animals, humans, and the environment with a view to creating more sustainable and equitable agrifood systems. Our agroecological research seeks to • preserve cultivated habitats • reduce the use of synthetic inputs (e.g., pesticides, antibiotics, and fertilisers) by exploiting biological control techniques • increasing the diversity of agricultural production systems at all scales, from field to fork
