Agroecology contributes to biologically-diverse agricultural systems
Agroecology informs the design of biodiverse agricultural systems that contribute to meeting several United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Ecological systems provide profitable alternatives to current farming strategies in the North, now dominated by large farms using expensive inputs. These present systems employ monoculture cropping and specialized animal systems that degrade the environment and cause acceleration of economi…
Here Comes the Sun

Freedom Summer “Homos”
This “archive story” documents how the infamous Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission harnessed homophobia to crush gay civil rights activists at historically black Rust College in Holly Springs, Mississippi, during “Freedom Summer” in 1964. New information uncovered by the author, a self-described “archive activist” from the Mattachine Society of Washington, D.C., reveals how the Sovereignty Commission, working directly with the governor of M…

Social-Ecological Refuges
This article draws on concepts from social-ecological resilience and a case study conducted in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA to explore the social-ecological functions of community gardening. Through semi-structured interviews with 20 community garden participants and staff, we find that community gardening provides opportunities for participants to foster resilience to the personal, cultural, and economic challenges of displacement and resettlement res…
Agroecology and Agricultural Change
A Stream Is Always Giving Life
Rare in Indian country just sixty years ago, type 2 diabetes mellitus is now woven into the fabric of losses in tribal communities across North America. Westernized lifestyles, with coincident obesity and physical inactivity, are powerful risk factors for this relatively new "disease of civilization." The web of causation is thicker and wider than obesity and physical activity alone, intertwined by historical, economic, environmental, and sociolo…
Agroecology as a science, a movement and a practice. A review
Farmers and nature conservation
Farmers' attitudes towards viability of specific conservation practices or actions strongly impact their decisions on adoption and change. This review of ‘attitude’ information reveals a wide range of perceptions about what conservation means and what the impacts of adoption will mean in economic and environmental terms. Farmers operate in a tight financial situation, and in parts of the world they are highly dependent on government subsidies, an…

Agroecology
We present a compelling rationale for defining agroecology as the ecology of food systems. Our purpose is to provide a framework that will guide research, education, and action in the multiple and interacting facets of an increasingly complex global agriculture and food system. To accomplish such goals, it is essential to build bridges and connections among and beyond our disciplines in production agriculture, as well as beyond the farm gate into…
Response of Four Andean Crops to Rotation and Fertilization

Impact of personal values on agricultural research
The scientific cadre often assumes that research and fanning decisions are value‐free. Biological scientists and agricultural producers need to recognize how our values influence the degree to which we engage difficult long‐term economic, environmental, and social impacts of technology. Identification and clarification of values can help shape and inform decisions on research and production practices. Envisioning activities can create an awarenes…
Land Capability Classification in Grenada, West Indies
The watershed unit, which for many years has provided a fundamental unit of research in natural sciences, also provides a valuable framework for land-use planning and has been adopted for this purpose in Grenada, West Indies. The various physical components of the principal watersheds, namely, climate, geology, soils, and vegetation, are used to delimit sub-units within each watershed, and subsequently each of these is evaluated for a number of p…
