SwitzerlandPrefaceAs agroecology has advanced, it has become less a consensus and more a strewing of ideas. The situation is analogous to the story of five blind men describing an elephant.The first, touching the trunk, thinks the elepha Agroecology simplified and explainednt is like a large snake. The second, tusk in hand, finds it like a spear. The third, feeling the car, is reminded of a large leaf. The fourth finds tAgroecology simplified and explained
he leg like a tree trunk, and the fifth assumes the side is similar to a wall. Of course, all are correct in their interpretation.This goes to the cenPaul WojtkowskiAgroecologySimplified and Explained"0 springerPaul WojtkowskiUniversidad de ConcepcionPittsfield.

This is monocultural where yields are boosted by high, plot-external inputs and by high-yielding crop varieties. This model is often supported by GMO varieties and the liberal use of agrochemicals.Agr Agroecology simplified and explainedoecologists reject this narrow view, instead putting forth the notion that agriculture. by way of agroecology, is based around biodiversity and the usAgroecology simplified and explained

Beyond this, the situation gets messy.This comes about because agroePaul WojtkowskiAgroecologySimplified and Explained"0 springerPaul WojtkowskiUniversidad de ConcepcionPittsfield.

The shortfall lies in the fact that there are few simplifying perspectives on how to navigate the maze.In practice, the complexity is handed by subdividing agroecology into different schools of thought. Each can have a philosophical and/or a political bent and be Agroecology simplified and explained represented by one or a series of practical applications.Through subdivision, the complexity of the whole is circumvented.

The goal of this book is to offer one view, one perspective.viAggregatingPrefaceIt may seem strange to begin the process of sorting by aggregating. The various schools of thought are clearly part of agroecology. If shorn of their political and philosophical undertones, the underly Agroecology simplified and explaineding ecology comes to the fore.In explaining agroecology, there is a need to aggregate the land use sciences, i.e.. agriculture, forestry, and agroforeAgroecology simplified and explained

One must not forget the very large commercial farms found in all parts of the world.Although those that accept conventional agriculture may eschew agroecology, they may be even Agroecology simplified and explainedtually forced into the fold by (a) changing societal values, (b) by climate change, (c) by consumers seeking something better, (d) by better economicAgroecology simplified and explained
