摘要
摘要农业生态学一词自最初被设想为研究农业系统生态学以来,经历了广泛的多样化。除了包括科学、实践和社会运动的“三方”定义外,还包括政治和“解放”农业生态学等。对于“生态农业”和“生态农业”的含义,以及与这些概念相关的目标和用途,都没有达成共识。因此,尽管“生态农业”的概念没有得到巩固或统一,但它的含义和应用继续根据用户的兴趣和观点而多样化。这种多样化包括以不同的方式看待农业在人类社会中的作用及其赖以生存和发挥作用的环境。农业生态学也被视为一种活动,其目标包括各种各样的问题,如神话、仪式、教条、政治或宗教。此外,这种不受限制的多样化也使术语贬值和庸俗化,阻碍了学术界、实践者、推动者、决策者、公众和政府机构之间的相互理解。我们开始对墨西哥的各种生态农业进行一系列反思,我们希望这些反思将促进形成清晰、定义明确、记录在案的概念,以促进生态农业之间的协同作用,并促进其目标的实现。关键词:概念混淆概念多样化可持续农业科学农业生态技术农业生态致谢本工作由联合国农业大学可持续发展生态研究所资助,资助项目为IIESPO-FJEG;IIESPO-EBM。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。植物整体生物是一组与植物共生的微生物和有机体。所有这些生物和植物建立了生物相互作用的网络。这项工作得到了国立大学Autónoma de massio IIES [IIES- pofjeg]的支持;巴西国立大学Autónoma de mmacxico, IIES [IIES- poebm]。
The conceptual babel of agroecologies is related to their diverse origins and objectives
ABSTRACTThe term agroecology has undergone broad diversification since it was first conceived as the study of the ecology of agricultural systems. In addition to the “tripartite” definition, which includes science, practice, and social movement, political and “emancipatory” agroecologies, among others, are included. There is no consensus on the meaning of “agroecology” and “agroecological,” nor the objectives and uses associated with those concepts. Thus, despite the concept of “agroecology” not being consolidated nor unisemic, its meaning and application continue to diversify according to the interests and perspectives of the users. That diversification encompasses different ways of looking at agriculture’s role in human societies and the environment in which they are based and function. Agroecology, too, has been seen as an activity whose objectives include issues as diverse as mythical, ceremonial, dogmatic, political, or religious. Moreover, this unrestricted diversification also devalues and trivializes the term and hinders the mutual understanding among academics, practitioners, promoters, decision-makers, the public, and government agencies. We begin a series of reflections on the various agroecologies in Mexico that we hope will promote the formation of clear, well-defined, and documented concepts to contribute to synergies among agroecologies and the advancement of their objectives.KEYWORDS: Conceptual confusionconceptual diversificationsustainable agriculturescientific agroecologytechnological agroecology AcknowledgmentsThis work was supported by the Instituto de Investigaciones en Ecosistemas y Sustentabilidad-UNAM under Grants IIESPO-FJEG; IIESPO-EBM.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

期刊介绍:
Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems is devoted to the rapidly emerging fields of agroecology and food system sustainability. By linking scientific inquiry and productive practice with transformative social action, agroecology provides a foundation for developing the alternative food systems of the future. The journal focuses on the changes that need to occur in the design and management of our food systems in order to balance natural resource use and environmental protection with the needs of production, economic viability, food security, and the social well-being of all people.
Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems examines our current food systems from production to consumption, and the urgent need to transition to long-term sustainability. The journal promotes the study and application of agroecology for developing alternatives to the complex problems of resource depletion, environmental degradation, a narrowing of agrobiodiversity, continued world hunger, consolidation and industrialization of the food system, climate change, and the loss of farm land. The journal uses a food systems approach, and seeks experiences in agroecology that are on-farm, participatory, change-oriented, and backed by broad-based methodologies of sustainability analysis and evaluation.
