Power, policy, and practice
Agroecology has emerged globally as a promising alternative to industrialized agriculture, offering pathways toward more sustainable, just, and resilient food systems. Yet despite growing empirical support and increasing policy attention, agroecological transitions remain uneven and contested. This introduction to the Special Collection on “The Political Economy of Agroecological Transitions” provides a rationale for why agroecology as a paradigm…
Reconfiguring agrarian relations through agroecology
Agroecology entails more than a technical shift in farming; it represents a profound reconfiguration of agrarian relations. This paper examines these processes through a political economic lens. Using participatory action research, we characterized 10 small-scale farms in Cochabamba, Bolivia – five implementing dynamic agroforestry (DAF) and five neighboring conventional farms – focusing on agricultural design, management, production, and economi…

El sistema agroindustrial reveló las menores contribuciones a la soberanía alimentaria, mientras que en el agroe…
