CW: What is agroecology?
Agroecology is a social movement originated by peasant farmers in the global south but nowadays spread over the whole world.

One of the main organizations is @ViaCampesina .
And agroecology is a field of research where scientists combine the most advanced interdisciplinary knowledge of agricultural ecosystems (I am a soil microbiologist and work with botanists, entomologists (insects), agronomists, food chemists, but also sociologists and economists) with the applied understanding of farmers and indigenous people to develop and promote sustainable farming techniques and a transformation of the food system.
This is because from a scientific point of view, the industrial food system has way too many disadvantages, destroying the planet, society and our health.
