Descrizione Agroecological Practices for Sustainable Agriculture
Agroecology refers to the use of ecological concepts and principles in farming. It contributes to sustainable development as it combines practices such as organic farming, regenerative agriculture, and permaculture. Agroecology enhances public efficiency by fostering integrated and inter-ministerial policy design and implementation. It provides farmers with greater flexibility in adapting to market fluctuations and climate change. It also provides a wide range of nutrient-dense and culturally appropriate foods that help in improving the environmental benefits of agriculture. Good agroecological practices are required for promoting the growth of sustainable agriculture. Agroecological practices such as agroforestry have beneficial effects on water regulation, biodiversity, soil carbon, nitrogen, fertility, and buffering temperature extremes. This book provides significant information of this subject to help develop a good understanding of agroecological practices and their applications in sustainable agriculture. Its extensive content provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.
