Agroecology: a scientific discipline that uses ecological theory to study, design, manage and evaluate agricultural systems that are productive but also resource conserving (www.agroeco.org)
This website is an information resource for developing sustainable food systems, emphasizing training, research, and application of agroecological science to solving real world problems. We also conduct training courses and intensive workshops including the International Short Course in Agroecology and support activities linking agroecology and sustainability. (www.agroecology.org)
The LEISA Network
Success stories from small-scale farmers are often hard to find. They do exist, and there is much to be learnt from them. They can help improve productivity, generate income, and empower farmers. The LEISA Network finds and publishes these stories, and exchanges knowledge and information on sustainable, small-holder farming around the world. (www.leisa.info)
Looking for the latest in sustainable agriculture and organic farming news, events and funding opportunities? We feature all that, plus in-depth publications on production practices, alternative crop and livestock enterprises, innovative marketing, organic certification, and highlights of local, regional, USDA and other federal sustainable ag activities.
