What is Agroecology Research?

Every farm is a living ecosystem where soil, plants, animals, insects, water, climate and people are all connected. Agroecology studies these connections to help us grow healthy food while protecting nature and improving people's lives.

How can I do Agroecology research?

As a young researcher, you will ask questions, observe nature, collect data, conduct experiments and discover solutions that make farming more sustainable. We have curated five broad themes for you.
