   Agro-ecology: What it is, what it has to 
   offer, and how agro-ecological practices 
      could be more widely adopted
              Laura Silici
        Researcher, Natural Resources Group 
    International Institute for Environment and Development
                                   What is agroecology
         “The application of ecological concepts and 
         principles to the design and management of 
         sustainable agro-ecosystems” (Altieri, 1995)
                SCOPE: The agro-ecosystem                                                     Not the farm!
                OBJECTIVE: Its sustainability                                                 Not its productivity!
                FOCUS: Design and management, as defined by a SET 
                     of PRINCIPLES
                        Making current approaches work for sustainable agriculture, Leiden, 12 September 2014                         2
      What are the core principles of agroecology?
         1.      Holistic approach to landscape design and management: the 
                 farming system should be harmonised with the productive 
                 potential and the physical limits of the agro-ecosystem
         2.      Diversification of species and genetic resources - including 
                 local breeds and varieties
         3.      Smart use of ecological functionalities and synergies within 
                 the agro-ecosystem
         4.      Recycling and efficiency in the use of nutrients, inputs and 
                 energy
         5.      Local sourcing of inputs and resources and minimum use of 
                 polluting, non-recyclable inputs

                    How do agroecological farming 
                                           systems look like?
             Different degrees of ‘optimisation’ 
             or ‘ecological intensification’
